“Jonathan Franzen’s new novel, Freedom, like his previous one, The Corrections, is a masterpiece of American fiction . . . Freedom is a still richer and deeper work—less glittering on its surface but more confident in its method . . . Like all great novels, Freedom does not just tell an engrossing story. It illuminates, through the steady radiance of its author’s profound moral intelligence, the world we thought we knew.”—Sam Tanenhaus, The New York Times Book Review (cover review)
On Thursday, September 9, 2010 Franzen will be in Concord as the first author to appear in the new "Writer's in the Spotlight" series being launched by Gibson's and the Capitol Center for the Arts (CCA). Mr. Franzen will speak and sign books in the Spotlight Cafe, downstairs at the CCA beginning at 7pm. This will be a ticketed event, but the ticket price is only $6.
