Book Disussion

Critics agree... do you?
Join us for scholar-led discussion of this critically acclaimed book.

Freedom by Jonathan Franzen
An epic of contemporary love and marriage. Freedom comically and tragically captures the temptations and burdens of liberty: the thrills of teenage lust, the shaken compromises of middle age, the wages of suburban sprawl, the heavy weight of empire. 
Critics agreed that Freedom, heralded as a Great American Novel, offers a crystal clear portrait of our times, for better or for worse, and that, like The Corrections, it is a sweeping canvas of contemporary American life. 

Discussion led by Dr. Vara Neverow.
