Tree of Codes

About this book

Tree of Codes is a haunting new story by best-selling American writer Jonathan Safran Foer. With a different die-cut on every page Tree of Codes 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. Tree of Codes is the story of an enormous last day of life as one characters 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 persons last day everyones story. Inspired to exhume a new story from an existing text Jonathan Safran Foer has taken his "favorite" book The Street of Crocodiles 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 Foers own acclaimed voice.
