He created the new character partly as a relief from the dark obsessive world of Humbert Humbert - in his own words (in a letter to a friend) as a "brief sunny escape from [Lolita's] intolerable spell".
But it is clear that the new project was also a kind of insurance against the difficulties that he expected to encounter in trying to publish a novel where a middle-aged man describes in lavish and eloquent detail his infatuation with and seduction of a 12-year-old girl.
The stance of author to character implied in the work itself comes somewhere between these two extremes, and is complicated by the ambiguous relationship between the narrator and Vladimir Nabokov.

 Bookreporter.com - EVERYTHING IS ILLUMINATED by Jonathan Safran Foer
In EVERYTHING IS ILLUMINATED, the talented author Jonathan Safran Foer introduces the reader to the fictional character Jonathan Safran Foer, an American who journeys to Ukraine in search of the woman he believes saved his grandfather's life during World War II.
Since "Jonathan" is mostly a tangential presence, or at any rate a character in Alex's story, the book neatly avoids sounding like your typically self-absorbed first novel --- a difficult feat for anyone, much less a 24-year-old author like Foer.
As the novel progresses and the two characters' stories develop, you start to feel that Alex's reverence for "the hero," as he calls Jonathan, is misplaced and, that if there's anyone who deserves to be called the hero of this story, it's Alex.
