Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
he novel also incorporates (and mashes up) aspects of other genres, both
fictional genres and visual genres. (Some possibilities: folktale,
coming of age story, graphic novel, mystery or detective story, comedy,
tragedy, documentary, journal, epistolary novel, and many more you can
identify on your own.) Others (like doodling, scrapbooking,
joke-telling, and others) are not conventional genres, but Foer
appropriates them cleverly for his purposes. Choose two different genres
and explain what features of Extremely Loud reference or exploit those
genres. Then explain what Foer has done to bend, subvert, combine, or
repurpose these elements. Use your knowledge of postmodernism to try to
describe and account for this revision or combination.
