Everything Is Illuminated is Jonathan Safran Foer’s acclaimed debut novel, blending family history, comedy, grief, memory, and the lingering trauma of the Holocaust.

The novel follows a young American writer named Jonathan Safran Foer as he travels to Ukraine in search of the woman who may have saved his grandfather during the Second World War. His journey is narrated in part by Alex, a young Ukrainian translator whose unusual English gives the novel much of its humour, energy, and emotional strangeness.
