Faced with the prospect of being unable to explain why we eat some animals and not others, Foer set out to explore the origins of many eating traditions and the fictions involved with creating them. Traveling to the darkest corners of our dining habits, Foer raises the unspoken question behind every fish we eat, every chicken we fry, and every burger we grill.

Oskar Blum ist altklug und naseweis, hochbegabt und phantasievoll. Eine kleine Nervensäge, die schon mit neun Jahren eine Visitenkarte vorweist, auf der sie sich als Erfinder, Schmuckdesigner und Tamburinspieler ausweist. Vor allem aber ist Oskar todtraurig und tief verstört. Auch noch zwei Jahre nachdem sein Vater beim Angriff auf das World Trade Center ums Leben kam. Nun will er herausfinden, warum Eli Blum, der ein Juweliergeschäft hatte, sich ausgerechnet an diesem Tag dort aufhielt. Mit seinem Tamburin zieht Oskar durch New York und gerät in aberwitzige Abenteuer.
