Jonathan Franzen is the author of six novels, most recently Crossroads and Purity, and five works of nonfiction, including The Discomfort Zone, Farther Away, and The End of the End of the Earth. He is one of America’s most celebrated authors. Franzen’s gift for wedding depth and vividness of character with breadth of social vision has never been more dazzlingly evident than in our Shaw Reads novel, Crossroads.
