Despite the success and significance of Jonathan Franzen's fiction,
his work has received relatively little scholarly attention. Aiming
to fill this conspicuous gap, Jonathan Franzen and the Romance of
Community analyzes each of Franzen's five novels in chronological
order to reveal an interior logic animating his work. Integrating
various formal and ideological perspectives to illuminate Franzen's
work, Jesus Blanco Hidalga demonstrates that the concepts of
salvation and redemption, typical of romance narratives, run
throughout Franzen's fiction. Even as he re-assesses and expands
the familiar interpretations of Franzen's work, Blanco Hidalga
shows how these salvation narratives are used for
self-legitimization not only by the characters, but by the writer
himself. Combining critical rigor with interpretative boldness,
Jonathan Franzen and the Romance of Community offers a new
theoretical approach to a major contemporary author.
