Coming Down on Franzen (2) Acknowledgments Notes Bibliography IndexReviewsWhat can reading Franzen tell us about fiction and what we want from it, and don't, and how that changes? Gibson wants to push past both eyerolling dismissals of Franzen and the uncritical accolades of Oprah and Time magazine and actually take the novels seriously as complex, if flawed, works of fiction that inspire and reward immersive and/or close reading. -- Briallen Hopper, author of <i>Hard to Love: Essays and Confessions</i> What can reading Franzen tell us about fiction and what we want from it, and don't, and how that changes?

L. Gibson gifts us not only an excellent study of Franzen's Freedom-but also a brilliantly ambivalent autofictional self-portrait that teaches us what it feels like to be trapped inside the event horizon of the literary singularity known as Jonathan Franzen. -- Lee Konstantinou, author of <i>The Last Samurai Reread</i> Author InformationL.
