With only a yellowing photograph in hand, a young man --
also named Jonathan Safran Foer -- sets out to find the
woman who may or may not have saved his grandfather from
the Nazis. Accompanied by an old man haunted by memories of
the war; an amorous dog named Sammy Davis, Junior, Junior;
and the unforgettable Alex, a young Ukrainian translator
who speaks in a sublimely butchered English, Jonathan is
led on a quixotic journey over a devastated landscape and
into an unexpected past.
