The End of the End of the Earth

In The End of the End of the Earth, which gathers essays and speeches, Jonathan Franzen returns with renewed vigor to the themes - both human and literary - that have long preoccupied him. These essays trace the progress of a unique and mature mind wrestling with itself, with literature, and with some of the most important issues of our day, made more pressing by the current political milieu. By one of the best American writers of our age.
