Franzen is a wizard."The Christian Science Monitor:"Wildly brilliant, funny, and wise."The Boston Globe:"Frighteningly, luminously authentic."The New York Review of Books:"You will laugh, wince, groan, weep, leave the table and maybe the country, promise never to go home again, and be reminded of why you read serious fiction in the first place."
