Johnathan Franzen

Jonathan Franzen

In conversation with Mark Breitenberg

monday, september 13, 2010
Herbst Theatre, 8pm

Jonathan Franzen is adept at developing vast, multifaceted plots where the intensely personal stories of his characters intersect with larger social themes. Some of Franzen's books include the best-selling The Corrections, The Twenty-Seventh City, and memoir The Discomfort Zone. His forthcoming novel, Freedom, tells the story of a seemingly perfect family unraveling at the seams.
