Initially deemed impossible to make, the book is a first - as much a sculptural object as it is a work of masterful storytelling. With a different die-cut on every page, Tree of Codes explores previously unchartered literary territory. Tree of Codes, is a haunting new story by best-selling American writer, Jonathan Safran Foer. ![]()
