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. Inspired to exhume a new story from an existing text, Jonathan Safran Foer has taken his favourite 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 Safran Foer's own acclaimed voice. Tree of Codes is the story of 'an enormous last day of life'. As one character's life is chased to extinction, Safran 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. The book has a broad appeal: to both literary audiences, intrigued by Safran Foer's new way of writing and to design and art audiences who will revel in the book's remarkable and unique visual experience.

Jonathan Safran Foer
Jonathan Safran Foer é um dorminhoco assumido. Onde encosta, capota. Quando não está roncando, esse judeu de 30 anos escreve livros best-sellers. Autor de Tudo se Ilumina (que virou filme ano pasado com Elijah Wood no papel do autor) e Extremamente Alto & Incrivelmente Perto (que a editora Rocco lança neste mês), Foer é um dos escritores norte-americanos mais festejados da atualidade. Rolling Stone e Esquire já o elencaram na lista dos “homens do ano”. Esse partidão é casado com Nicole Krauss, 32, autora de outros best-sellers: Man Walks Into a Room e A História do Amor (lançado no Brasil pela Companhia das Letras). Como o marido, ela também é um dos nomes fortes da nova literatura norte-americana. O letrado casal mora no bairro nova-iorquino do Brooklyn com a filha Sasha, de cinco meses
