QUIXOTIC JOURNEY
``Everything Is Illuminated'' by Jonathan Safran Foer (HarperPerennial, $13.95): In Foer's extraordinary story-within-a-story, a young Jewish American (with the same name as the author) embarks on a quixotic quest to the Ukraine to find the woman who may have saved his grandfather from the Nazis. Helping him are his translator Alex, whose letters in broken English provide much of the narrative; Alex's grandfather; and a dog named Sammy Davis Junior Junior. In alternating chapters, Foer chronicles the mythic history of his grandfather's shtetl. The whole is original, daring and, yes, illuminating.
