Jonathan Safran Foer is an American writer. He is best known for his novels Everything Is Illuminated and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. In 2009, he published a work of nonfiction titled Eating Animals. While Foer's works have been released to widespread critical acclaim, he remains a somewhat polarizing figure among contemporary critics and academics, attracting in equal measure both passionate praise and criticism. Foer currently teaches creative writing at New York University.
