Este texto analisa o romance Tudo se Ilumina, de Jonathan Safran Foer, e sua versão cinematográfica, dirigida por Liev Shrieber, sob o ponto de vista da construção da “verdade narrativa”. O romance apresenta três linhas narrativas distintas que revelam o universo interior dos personagens. Sua compreensão se dá a partir da conjunção destas três linhas, produzindo um significado totalizadorda obra, revelando as motivações dos personagens e sua compreensão da vida. O próprio conceito de verdade - fatos x suas versões - é discutido no romance uma vez que seu processo de criação é exposto ao leitor. Investigamos como um romance com características marcadamente pós-modernas – entre elas o uso de diferentes pontos de vista para a narração e a discussão de questões metaficcionais – pôde ser adaptado para o cinema, e em que medida estes aspectos marcantes se perderam ou ganharam outras contações na grande tela.
