A Convergence
of Birds

This is Foer's first book appearance and includes an introduction and story by him. This is copy number 26 of 225 numbered copies (there were also 75 presentation copies produced). Contributors include: Diane Ackerman, Joyce Carol Oates, Rick Moody, Barry Lopez, Robert Coover, Howard Norman, Paul West, Siri Hustvedt, Dale Peck, Joanna Scott, Robert Pinsky, Lydia Davis, Mary Caponegro, John Yau and others.

The beautifully produced book is a unique convergence of literature and art. Book received advanced praise from Susan Sontag, Paul Auster, and Ann Beattie.
