Jonathan Franzen

Post by MayFly »

I was just wondering what everybody thought of him. I haven't read any of his fiction, though I bought 'How To Be Alone' the other day and have read the first few essays. It would seem a lot of people complain about how his characters are unlikable and how he himself is unlikable. Also, do you think he is worthy of all the paise he gets?

I have just ordered a copy of "Freedom" after finding an old review of it in a magazine. Is sounds really good, fingers crossed its as good as the review. :)
