How to Be Alone - Jonathan Franzen

How to Be Alone - Jonathan Franzen

While the essays in this collection range in subject matter from the sex-advice industry to the way a supermax prison works, each one wrestles with the essential themes of Franzen's writing: the erosion of civil life and private dignity; and the hidden persistence of loneliness in postmodern, imperial America. Reprinted here for the first time is Franzen’s controversial l996 investigation of the fate of the American novel in what became known as "the Harper's essay," as well as his award-winning narrative of his father's struggle with Alzheimer's disease, and a rueful account of his brief tenure as an Oprah Winfrey author. źródło opisu: http://us.macmillan.com/howtobealone/JonathanFranzen źródło okładki: http://us.macmillan.com/howtobealone/JonathanFranzen
