Freedom by Jonathan Franzen

Freedom by Jonathan Franzen

Freedom by Jonathan Franzen
Publisher: Macmillan Audio; Unabridged edition 2010 | ISBN: 1427210497 | English | Audio CD in MP3/Variable | 349 MB

Amazon Best of the Month, August 2010: "The awful thing about life is this:" says Octave to the Marquis in Renoir's Rules of the Game. "Everyone has his reasons." That could be a motto for novelists as well, few more so than Jonathan Franzen, who seems less concerned with creating merely likeable characters than ones who are fully alive, in all their self-justifying complexity. Freedom is his fourth novel, and, yes, his first in nine years since The Corrections. Happy to say, it's very much a match for that great book, a wrenching, funny, and forgiving portrait of a Midwestern family (from St. Paul this time, rather than the fictional St. Jude).
