How did I miss this interview with Jonathan Safran Foer?! He always sounds so erudite, I love watching his interviews. I can’t wait for his new novel to be published next year.

This is already on here somewhere, but what the hell.
Also, hello icon pic!
JSF discussing ‘Eating Animals.’ I made these because he is pretty. :)
Jonfen has a terribly pretty smile.
I never thought I’d use my “That is a sexy coat” tag again.

I wish I had more clever things to add to my constant reblogs of this man. For now, I’ll just leave it at “Foer continuing to be a sexy bitch”.
Also, why the hell have I not seen this picture before???

I’m bored, so have some random pictures of The Sexiest Writer in the World.

Apparently there are no interviews about Everything is Illuminated, but this man is gorgeous. And, I mean, a genius, but more importantly, gorgeous.
Truth.
50 Absolute Favorite People: Jonathan Safran Foer
“If you look at the New York Times Online, there’s embedded video, there’s embedded sound, and we expect that of a newspaper. The question is, will readers expect the same thing of novels when they’re on that vehicle. It’s like, you know, if you were — it’s imagine being — pushing a wheelbarrow on the Autobahn and all the cars beeping behind you, saying, like, speed up or get off the road. I think that writers are going to feel those honking horns behind them, and the challenge will be to remember what’s good about books, which is that they’re slow and that they’re inefficient and that they’re a single task endeavor and that they’re inefficient and they’re not going anywhere. You know, so much of life, there’s this increased emphasis on efficiency. Can we do three things instead of two at a time? Can I make it somewhat quicker? Can my food come to me quicker? Can I get my job done more quickly? Can I spend less time with my family? You know, this is where we are. And books are the antidote to that, but it’s going to be increasingly difficult to stand against all of this efficiency. So readers will have a part to play, writers will have a part to play, publishers will have a part to play. And, you know, another reason I’m grateful to be here today is because festivals like this are one of the great, like, the saving grace of literature, you know, reminding us that we’re a huge community, that we’re a diverse community, and that this is at least a good a way to spend time as updating your Facebook page.”

Jonfen being pretty, as he does.

“What are we going to do, Alex?” he asked in a rigid tone. Alex scoffed at this seemingly innocuous inquiry.
“We are going to be carnal, yes?”
“No … in life.”
“Well, first we are going to make sex, and then we will look for Augustine.”
Jonathan sighed, not surprised that Alex had missed the point of the question altogether.
“You are trying to stall me, are you not?” asked Alex as he pulled out the pajama shirt from behind Jonathan’s back and cast it a few feet away, before sitting up again. “But I am not the type of person who forces another person to do a certain thing, especially when that thing is being carnal. So I will let you decide, Jonfen.”
