 Jonathan Franzen
Jonathan Franzen is the author of The Twenty-Seventh City, Strong Motion, The Corrections and How to be Alone. His fiction and nonfiction appear frequently in the New Yorker and Harper’s, and he was named one of the best writers under 40 by the New Yorker. He lives in New York City.
 Praise for Freedom
“Like his previous bestseller, The Corrections, it has the potential to become one of the most powerful narratives of its age” wrote The Weekly Review.
'...if you have yet to pick up this exploration of an American family's implosion, you are missing out on one of the most enchanting and hard-hitting novels in recent history" Madison
“Franzen’s prose is evocative, ironic yet tender, beautifully judged but wholly accessible. It repays careful and attentive reading” wrote Warrnambool Standard
“...his latest offering, a witty-yet-poignant family drama, lives up to the hype” wrote Instyle magazine
‘… he builds his characters so thoroughly and with luxurious detail, with a gimlet eye and a savagely wry humour that can make you wince and laugh at the same time’ Sunday Telegraph
‘He has done it. Another nine years later, he has produced a novel as rich, knowing, limber and comic as The Corrections’ wrote Delia Falconer in Australian
“Freedom is a very different book to The Corrections. It’s less satirical and the characters are fuller, more real, like those in a 19th-century novel” SMH Spectrum
