THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER 'A masterpiece' New York Times
'Stupendous, magnificent, unforgettable, witty and rich. A great
American novel' Spectator From the National Book Award-winning
author of The Corrections comes a darkly comedic novel about
family, now hailed as an American classic. They had been the
perfect family: liberal gentrifiers, the avant-garde of the Whole
Foods generation. But the Berglunds are struggling to live in an
ever more confusing world. Walter, an environmental lawyer and
commuter cyclist, has taken a job with Big Coal. Patty, the ideal
hands-on mother and wife, is growing unhinged in front of the
neighbours' attentive eyes. Their son has moved in with the
Republican family next door, and Richard Katz, outre rocker and
Walter's best friend and rival, has re-entered their lives.
'Writing in prose that dazzles, Franzen has now written the two
novels that best define modern America' Independent 'A masterpiece.
Franzen skewers the particularity of modern life and love like no
one else' Daily Telegraph
