Jonathan Safran Foer’s latest book, Tree of Codes, wasn’t easy to pull off (at left is one of the first drafts from the publisher). Because of the sculptural element involved, we wondered if Safran Foer might have other artistic pursuits outside of writing.

And he does! Safran Foer makes miniature sculptures for his friends. We trekked out to his Brooklyn home to see a few works in progress.
