Jonathan Safran Foer + Nicole Krauss
New York writers Jonathan Safran Foer (Everything Is Illuminated, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close) and Nicole Krauss (Great House, The History of Love) have the relationship we here at GL dream of having. (Apparently, there’s also a Facebook group dedicated to them.) As two prominent members of the literary world, these authors live a beautiful life in Park Slope, in a home that we have heard is “crazy cool,” with two children who we no doubt know will grow up to be sensitive, creative intellectuals just like their parents. Foer and Krauss met through a publisher in the early stages of their writing careers, and their combined power has made them a power couple in Gotham. Of course, we can name about twenty friends who are huge Foer fanatics and are incredibly jealous of Nicole Krauss, but really, can anyone picture him with anyone else? That’s why we idolize them, they’re our real-life Carrie Bradshaw and Mr. Big, Rachel and Ross. Sometimes we like to think that Krauss and Foer spend their Saturday evenings sitting face-to-face in front of a roaring fire in Brooklyn, entertaining each other by spinning love stories that allude to their own lives.
