Purity

A magnum opus for our morally complex times
PURITY shows Franzen working on his largest canvas yet, confronting contemporary moral dilemmas while writing in the tradition of Kafka and the romances of Shakespeare.
Mr. Franzen's most fleet-footed, least self-conscious and most intimate novel yet Mr. Franzen has added a new octave to his voice. Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
Purity demonstrates Franzen's ingenious plotting, his ability to steer the chaos of real life toward moments that feel utterly surprising yet inevitable In Purity Franzen writes with a perfectly balanced fluency offer ing a constantly provocative series of insights. Ron Charles, The Washington Post
