A young man arrives in the Ukraine, clutching in his hand a tattered photograph. He is searching for the woman who fifty years ago saved his grandfather from the Nazis. Unfortunately he is aided in his quest by Alex, a translator with an uncanny ability to mangle English into bizarre new forms; a 'blind' old man haunted by memories of the war; and an undersexed guide dog named Sammy Davis Jr., Jr. What they are looking for seems elusive - a truth hidden behind veils of time, language and the horrors of war.

Lyrical and almost meditative in parts...

What did you like best about Everything Is Illuminated? What did you like least?
The outline of the story was attractive.
What did you like best about this story?
The interaction between the Ukrainians and JSF was amusing.
Which character – as performed by Jeff Woodman and Scott Shina – was your favorite?
Grandfather
Any additional comments?
The novel is split between the present and the past / ancient history of JSF's family. I didn't like the overuse of pidgen by the main Ukrainian character, which was amusing at best but became a bit tedious. I didnt enjoy the picaresque nature of the family history: I dont really see what this adds to the book.
