“Franzen’s daring has been to take on HBO miniseries, demonstrating that if you want modern emotional dramas, the novel can provide them today as effectively as it did in the 19th century. But, he offers something no series can–the solitude and moral introspection of the novel, the beauty of prose, the imaginative love affair you form with characters you alone see in the way you see them. ‘Freedom’ is the novel of the year, and the century.”
