Texas Performing Arts presents an evening with award-winning novelist Jonathan Franzen, touring on the heels of his 2010 best-seller Freedom. Lev Grossman, Time Magazine senior writer and book critic, will lead the conversation.
Franzen is the author of the 2001 international best-selling novel The Corrections. With translations in 35 languages, American hardcover sales of nearly one million copies and nominations for nearly every major book prize in the country, Franzen was awarded the National Book Award for this novel.
His popularity soared after a public relations imbroglio over his conflicted reaction to his book’s endorsement by Oprah’s Book Club. Franzen’s other books include The Twenty-Seventh City, Strong Motion, How to Be Alone, and The Discomfort Zone.
In addition to his position at Time Magazine, Grossman is the author of the bestselling novel The Magicians. The New York Times called him one of this country’s smartest and most reliable critics. His writings have also appeared in The Times, The Village Voice, Entertainment Weekly, Salon, Lingua Franca, and The Wall Street Journal, and he appears as a frequent guest on NPR.
