The second of a two-part series featuring the acclaimed American author Jonathan Safran Foer. He speaks about his new novel ‘Here I am’, a book that is organised around two crisis: the discovery of a cellphone that reveals an affair and an earthquake. He discusses the meaning of the title, how it refers to a paradox of identity in Genesis and how that idea is brought into a contemporary setting for the book.
