'By sheer force of his imaginative writing and his unsheathed views of American life, Franzen succeeds in joining together a love story, a family story, and a corporate-cum-environmental story!Distinctly original.' The New York Times 'No doubt about it: Jonathan Franzen is one of the most extraordinary writers around.' Newsweek 'Ingeniously put together!His ear for American vernacular is flawless!His gift for description has a kinetic immediacy.' The Seattle Times 'Bold, layered!an elaborate construct, with the stuff of several books crammed into one!An affirmation of Franzen's fierce imagination and distinctive seriocomic voice.'
