Summary

Jonathan Franzen: Freedom

Few would dare to give their novel the title Freedom, which obliges and easily leads to a detour into sweet waters where freedom and love are the spice, while remaining up to the task - to be ironic and demanding, serious and comprehensive. As if he had stepped out of Tolstoy's overcoat, Franzen (after nine years of war) wrote a novel that covers everything that is unfree in today's world - ecological destruction, greed, corporations, the war (in Iraq), capitalism, and with them the most important interpersonal relationships - family relationships, friendship, love, sex, adultery. Franzen's characters excel in dialogue, and the combination of techniques - a diary with first-person narration with an objective third-person narrator - makes the story and its parallel streams extremely dynamic. For Franzen, detailed descriptions of capitalist/corporate machinations and the operation of money are not only a training ground for exposing major frauds in the modern world, but also an area where individual morals are sharpened - even through mistakes; Franzen's heroes come to their senses and then resist the globalist scourge with a very clear ethical stance: No, we are not all for sale, no, we are not all ready to betray a friend, no, we are not all greedy for money. In contemporary literature, anti-morality dominates, violence goes unpunished. Franzen is dominated by that moment of (forgotten) humanity that leads to moving.
