Jonathan Franzen
The inimitable Jonathan Franzen returns to Melbourne for this live in-conversation event.
The author of six acclaimed novels including The Corrections, Freedom and Purity, his latest release Crossroads was selected as the Guardian UK Best Fiction Book of 2021 and an Independent Book of the Year, and proves him, once again, to be a master of the modern family saga.
At The Capitol, Franzen will join Astrid Edwards, host of The Garret: Writers on Writing podcast, for a conversation about Crossroads, his writing life and the state of the modern novel.
Presented in partnership with RMIT Culture.
