Exclusive: Here's The Cover For Jonathan Safran Foer's New Novel, "Here I Am"

The Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close author’s first book in a decade.

Acclaimed author Jonathan Safran Foer is back with his first novel in over a decade: Here I Am. And here’s the cover!

Here I Am is the story of a family in crisis. As Jacob and Julia confront their collapsing marriage in Washington, DC, a catastrophic earthquake devastates the Middle East, sparking a pan-Arab invasion of Israel. At stake is the very meaning of home – and the fundamental question of how much life one can bear.

In a joint statement, Eric Chinski, editor-in-chief at Farrar, Straus & Giroux, Simon Prosser, publishing director at Hamish Hamilton and Penguin UK, and Nicole Winstanley, publisher at Penguin Books Canada, said:

What should a book cover look like for an author as original, as questing, and as full of aliveness as Jonathan Safran Foer? The answer, since the start, has come from the brilliant graphic imagination of gray318, aka Jon Gray – and it is a thrill to see how he has risen to the challenge of representing to the world what we all feel is Jonathan's greatest book yet.
