Michael asked this question about Purity:
Is it better than The Corrections and Freedom?
Jorge Greenwood I can't say it is better since I'm like a third in, however his style stays true and it has a somewhat dark/funny take on Julian Assange via his germa…moreI can't say it is better since I'm like a third in, however his style stays true and it has a somewhat dark/funny take on Julian Assange via his german parody Andreas Wolf (who might or might not be the futbolist of the same name). The main character is really funny since she seems really unfit to succeed. If you like Franzen previous work you should give it a read, I don't know if it will be better than Freedom, at least to me, at this point it is better than The Corrections based on characters alone.(less)
