Yes, that's the phrase "we are writing" repeated 193 times. But who's counting?
This is a book about writing, and boy, does Jonathan Safran Foer (the writer, not the character) play with writing. In addition to the above quote, sections of the book are written like a play, like an almanac or encyclopedia, paragraphs that span multiple pages, and sometimesevenwordsandsentenceswritten likethis.
This is a book about the journey, not the destination. And Jonathan Safran Foer (the writer, not the character, because the character is a square) makes sure that you're paying attention.
