Jonathan Franzen is one of the most influential,
critically-significant and popular contemporary American novelists.
This book is the first full-length study of his work and attempts
to articulate where American fiction is headed after postmodernism.
Stephen Burn provides a comprehensive analysis of each of Franzen's
novels - from his early work to the major success of The
Corrections - identifying key sources, delineating important
narrative strategies, and revealing how Franzen's themes are
reinforced by each novel's structure. Supplementing this analysis
with comparisons to key contemporaries, David Foster Wallace and
Richard Powers, Burn suggests how Franzen's work is indicative of
the direction of experimental American fiction in the wake of the
so-called end of postmodernism.
