| adam_text | Jonathan Franzen s
written about novel of
discussed what became known as The Harper s Essay , Franzen s
controversial
reprinted for the first time in How To Be Alone, along with the
personal narratives and the dead-on reportage that earned
a wide readership before the success of The Corrections. Although
his subjects range from the sex-advice industry to the way a
supermax prison works, each piece wrestles with essential themes of
Franzen s writing: the erosion of civic life and private dignity, and the
hidden persistence of loneliness in postmodern, imperial America.
Recent pieces include a moving essay on his father s struggle with
Alzheimer s disease and a rueful account of Franzen s brief tenure as
an Oprah Winfrey author.
Here, in fourteen essays, are fourteen fresh answers to the question
of how to be alone in a noisy and distracting mass culture. These
essays show the wry distrust of the claims of technology and
psychology, the love-hate relationship with consumerism, and the
subversive belief in the tragic shape of the individual life that help
make
social critics.
