About This Item
Freedom by Jonathan Franzen
Hardback, 2010 First Edition, First Printing. In very good condition. Minor scuffing to dust jacket, small signs of shelf-wear. A little marking to page edges but very clean. Edges of a few of the last pages of the book a little bumped. Page surfaces very clean, no writing, underlining, etc. A nice copy and a scarce one: this first UK printing of the book was recalled due to numerous mistakes in spelling, grammar and characterisation as this printing was mistakenly based on an early draft.
Reviews
From man who grew up in MN and lived in NY. Sent this to friend of similar background"Imagine Walter Bergland, from Hibbing, goes to U, gets law degree and works for Nature Conservancy. Has Victorian house on Ramsey Hill in St. Paul. Marries Patty Emerson, from Westchester...a basketball star at the U. Her mother is Jewish woman in state legislature in NY; father an attorney who “does good” on the side. Wacky family @#$& from the puckered up Swedish side, confused neglect from the Westchester side...their lives unfold in wacky ways and since we both understand the Westchester and the Swedish-Hibbing psyche, you might get a kick from the book. Franzen’s writing is tight, intense and compelling. Reading it only for his style is interesting. I tried to read “Corrections” but couldn’t get into it. Don’t know why I bought FREEDOM but enjoyed it for its wackiness."
