Jonathan Franzen

Franzen at the 2011 [[Time 100|''Time'' 100]] gala Jonathan Earl Franzen (born August 17, 1959) is an American novelist and essayist. His 2001 novel ''The Corrections'', a sprawling, satirical family drama, drew widespread critical acclaim, earned Franzen a National Book Award, was a Pulitzer Prize for Fiction finalist, earned a James Tait Black Memorial Prize, and was shortlisted for the International Dublin Literary Award. His novel ''Freedom'' (2010) garnered similar praise and led to an appearance on the cover of ''Time'' magazine alongside the headline "Great American Novelist". Franzen's latest novel ''Crossroads'' was published in 2021, and is the first in a projected trilogy.

Franzen has contributed to ''The New Yorker'' magazine since 1994. His 1996 ''Harper's'' essay "Perchance to Dream" bemoaned the state of contemporary literature. Oprah Winfrey's book club selection in 2001 of ''The Corrections'' led to a much publicized feud with the talk show host. Provided by Wikipedia
