Freitag, Sibylle: The Return of the Real in the Works of Jonathan Franzen

A comprehensive study of Jonathan Franzen's works and of the change in his understanding of his role as a novelist. It offers analyses of Franzen's first two novels 'The Twenty-Seventh City' and 'Strong Motion' and of his non-fiction. It focuses on Franzen's most influential and most popular work, 'The Corrections', and not only provides a detailed analysis of the novel itself, it also investigates the implications of Franzen's 'reconstructionist' turn towards traditional, 'accessible' narrative devices in the context of the emergence of a so-called post-postmodern literature. 247 Seiten, broschiert (Arbeiten zur Amerikanistik; Vol. 40/Verlag Die Blaue Eule 2009) leichte Lagerspuren/minor shelfwear
