Happy summer to all of you,

An English teacher has asked me to help find a novel for an 11th grade 
Communications class.   The dominant theme he'd like the book to
include "personal responsibility and pursuit of truth in a postmodern,
or anything-goes, world."  Some of the readings that came closest were
"Measure for Measure" (Shakespeare) and "Life of Pi."  
Ideally, he'd
like a modern book written by a non-American author, and it should be,
beyond just being a good story, have literary merit...because this will
be the novel every junior in Communications reads. 

 I'd love any suggestions.  This is my first "official" year in our HS so I would 
love to be of help and impress this teacher :-).
