Tree of Codes

Tree of Codes

<div><I>Tree of Codes</I> is a haunting new story by best-selling American writer, Jonathan Safran Foer. With a different die-cut on every page, <I>Tree of Codes</I> explores previously unchartered literary territory. Initially deemed impossible to make, the book is a first — as much a sculptural object as it is a work of masterful storytelling. <I>Tree of Codes</I> is the story of an enormous last day of life — as one character's life is chased to extinction, Foer multi-layers the story with immense, anxious, at times disorientating imagery, crossing both a sense of time and place, making the story of one person’s last day everyone’s story. Inspired to exhume a new story from an existing text, Jonathan Safran Foer has taken his "favorite" book, <I>The Street of Crocodiles</I> by Polish-Jewish writer Bruno Schulz, and used it as a canvas, cutting into and out of the pages, to arrive at an original new story told in Jonathan Safran Foer's own acclaimed voice.</div>
