ABOUT THE BOOK + AUTHOR:

In CROSSROADS, Franzen ventures back into the past and explores the history of two generations. Its action largely unfolding on a single winter day, CROSSROADS is the story of a Midwestern family at a pivotal moment of moral crisis. Jonathan Franzen’s novels (Purity, The Corrections, and Freedom, among others) are celebrated for their unforgettably vivid characters and for their keen-eyed take on contemporary America. Now, Jonathan Franzen’s gift for melding the small picture and the big picture is on display again. With characteristic humor and complexity, and with even greater warmth, he conjures a world that resonates powerfully with our own.
