Jonathan Franzen, with Mona Simpson, & Crossroads via Skylight Bookstore – Online Event

FSG presents acclaimed author Jonathan Franzen, in conversation with author Mona Simpson, to discuss and present his new novel Crossroads, in which the author again weds depth and vividness of character with breadth of social vision.

Crossroads begins on December 23,1971, where heavy weather is forecast for Chicago and Russ Hildebrandt, the associate pastor of a liberal suburban church is about to break free of a joyless marriage. But his wife Marion, who has her own secret life, beats him to it. Their three children are also in crisis, and all of the Hildebrandts seek a freedom that each of the others threaten to complicate. Franzen explores the history of two generations in a pivotal moment of moral crisis, with interwoven perspectives, on a single winter day, and conjures a world that resonates powerfully with our own.
