Freedom
Franzen's Thoughts On "Freedom": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92kWQK1zOog
The Book
"Freedom is a still richer and deeper work — less glittering on its surface but more confident in its method." -NY Times
"For Franzen, this is the trick: not to outgrow who we are but instead to accept it, and in so doing, to accept the world of which we are a part. That's the freedom to which the title is referring, the freedom at the center of this consuming and extraordinarily moving book." -LA Times
"In the end, freedom is a paradox, and perhaps an unattainable ideal. And because it understands this, Freedom is, in the end, a fine, impressive, and memorable novel." -Troy Jollimore
"If you loved The Corrections as much as I did, then cracking open Freedom is a bit like returning to a restaurant where you had an outstanding meal." -Curtis Sittenfeld (Observer)
