Jonathan Safran Foer visited KQED’s The Writers’ Block to record a reading from his latest book, Eating Animals. He was open to participating in a spontaneous video interview and shared his personal eating preferences, where he was dining in the Bay Area, thoughts about food politics and ethics, and ideas for his next book.

    Dear Mr. Jonathan Safran Foer

    I was delighted to hear you will be visiting the Holy City of Jerusalem.

    During your stay, I would be appreciative if we could meet to allow me to tell you about the 9-11 Memorial Monument in the Jerusalem region that I initiated and designed. Such a monument should be part of the landscape in New York.

    Attached is a PowerPoint Presentation for your perusal and impression.

    I look forward very much to meeting with you.

    Sincerely,
    Eliezer Weishoff
