Instead, I checked out Man Walks into a Room. Fantastic first novel, also about memory. I can't wait to see what she does next...could be big.

The prose, the story, it was all so very beautiful. Since then I've read Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Foer, which touches on some similar issues (and the two books were compared when they were released) and I still think this one is vastly superior (not that the Foer was bad, but it paled in comparison). I've got a copy of Krauss's first novel, Man Walks Into A Room, but haven't read it yet. You remind me that I should. I read this one for my book club a few years ago and I absolutely loved it.
