Jonathan Safran Foer: Eating Animals

Congregation Kehillath Israel

Jonathan Safran Foer's first two books, Everything Is Illuminated and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, introduced a young novelist with impressive virtuosity and boundless imagination, so it's hard to know what to make of his latest, Eating Animals, a non-fiction polemic against, well, eating animals. Foer couples his considerable gifts with exhaustive research to convince the reader of the evils of carnivorism. He's being brought in by Brookline Booksmith, but he'll be at Congregation Kehillath Israel, 384 Harvard St, Brookline | 7:30 pm | $5 | http://www.brooklinebooksmith.com.
