Jonathan Safran Foer’s latest novel is called HERE I AM (Hamish Hamilton)
It’s Shakespearean in its range, giving us everything from smart-arse teenagers talking back to their parents to an epic speech from the Israeli Prime Minister summoning men from across the world to rally to defence of Israel. There’s dirty sex talk and a Rabbi’s funeral oration which will have you weeping.
