More About
Franzen hints wonderfully at the mutability of personality in an age of globalized industry. Even if his resort to home-and-hearth verities feels unduly traditional, his vision of emotional terrain overrun by forces both large and small tells us something we need to hear about the late-capitalist self—willfully privatized, but also able to mold that global megaculture to re-create itself in new configurations. Could this be the first great novel of the 21st century?
