Jonathan Franzen

Es el 23 de diciembre de 1971, y se pronostica un tiempo pesado para Chicago. Russ Hildebrandt, el pastor asociado de una iglesia suburbana liberal, está al borde de liberarse de un matrimonio que encuentra sin alegría - a menos que su esposa, Marion, que tiene su propia vida secreta, le apueste. Su hijo mayor, Clem, está viniendo a casa de la universidad en fuego con absolutismo moral, habiendo tomado una acción que destrozará a su padre. La hermana de Clem, Becky, durante mucho tiempo la reina social de su clase de secundaria, se ha adentrado agudamente en la contracultura, mientras que su hermano menor brillante Perry, que ha estado vendiendo drogas a los estudiantes de séptimo grado, ha decidido ser una mejor persona. Cada uno de los Hildebrandts busca una libertad que cada uno de los otros amenaza complicarIt's December 23, 1971, and heavy weather is forecast for Chicago. Russ Hildebrandt, the associate pastor of a liberal suburban church, is on the brink of breaking free of a marriage he finds joyless -- unless his wife, Marion, who has her own secret life, beats him to it. Their eldest child, Clem, is coming home from college on fire with moral absolutism, having taken an action that will shatter his father. Clem's sister, Becky, long the social queen of her high-school class, has sharply veered into the counterculture, while their brilliant younger brother Perry, who's been selling drugs to seventh graders, has resolved to be a better person. Each of the Hildebrandts seeks a freedom that each of the others threatens to complicate
