About this product

Product Information

"The Discomfort Zone" is Franzen's memoir of growth from his boyhood as a "small and fundamentally ridiculous person," through an adolescence both excruciating and strangely happy, into an adult with embarrassing and unexpected passions. It's also a portrait of a Midwestern middle-class family weathering the turbulence of the 1970s and a vivid personal history of an America turning its back on a certain idealism. Daring, honest, and written with the comic scrutiny and unqualified affection that marks Franzen's fiction, "The Discomfort Zone" tells of the formation of one young mind in the crucible of an everyday American family.

  • Memoir by Jonathan Franzen

    Jonathan Franzen wrote a memoir. He is a baby boomer with World War II parents (like me). A couple of his stories are deja vu...I could swear I've heard or read them before somewhere, but how and where? One of the signs of a good writer. His stories are interesting enough that I really wanted to keep listening to find out what happens! Again, a sign of a good writer. I really liked this book, but I did not love it.
