Nine years after his National Book Award-winning The Corrections, Franzen chronicles the ups and downs--mainly the downs--of the Berglunds. Patty, once a promising basketball player, is now a depressed suburban wife and mother, battling neighbors and her own demons. Her husband talks green but does business with the coal industry, while their old friend Richard has descended from would-be rock stardom to building decks.
Due to overwhelming public enthusiasm, we have moved this event with Jonathan Franzen from the bookstore to the
George Washington University Lisner Auditorium. Directions here.
The event is still free and open to the public and does not require tickets (seating is general admission). Doors will open at
6 p.m. The event will include a talk, reading, Q&A, and book signing. Copies of FREEDOM are in the store now and will also be available for purchase at GW Lisner. Thank you for supporting P&P and for your interest in this event.
We hope you will join us there.
