Only very rarely, only in exceptional cases, is there a before and after; has a novel not only left a mark on literary history but given it a new direction. Everything is Illuminated is one such novel. Published in 2002, it was an overnight success, and its author 25 years old. It is quite certain that Jonathan Safran Foer did not set out to write differently about the greatest crime committed by humanity, the Shoa.
