Foer Redemption?

Apparently, Jonathan Safran Foer, best known for writing exploitative novels about tragic events, is now turning his attention to the scandals at US kosher slaughterhouses. Normally, I'd applaud anyone involved in trying to end these despicable practices. In his case I can't do so wholeheartedly. Having written at least one book that uses unimaginable pain as the backdrop for a fatuous and shallow engagement with personal identity (and possibly two books, I couldn't stomach the idea of reading 'Incredibly Close...'), he might well end up trivializing rather than exposing the suffering of the animals involved.
