Krátky popis
Set in a historical moment of moral crisis, Crossroads is the
stunning foundation of a sweeping investigation of human
mythologies, as the Hildebrandt family navigate the political and
social crosscurrents of the past fifty years It'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. Jonathan Franzen's novels are celebrated for their
unforgettably vivid characters and their keen-eyed take on the
complexities of contemporary America. Now, for the first time, in
Crossroads, Franzen explores the history of a generation. With
characteristic humour and complexity, and with even greater warmth,
he conjures a world that feels no less immediate. A tour de force
of interwoven perspectives and sustained suspense, Crossroads is
the story of a Midwestern family at a historical moment of moral
crisis. Jonathan Franzen's gift for melding the small picture and
the big picture has never been more dazzlingly evident.
