Whether he's writing about the explosive dynamics of a Christian youth fellowship in the 1970s, the effects of Kafka's fiction on his protracted quest to lose his virginity, or the web of connections between bird watching, his all-consuming marriage, and the problem of global warming, Franzen is always feelingly engaged with the world we live in now. \u003ci\u003eThe Discomfort Zone\u003c\/i\u003e is a wise, funny, and gorgeously written self-portrait by one of America's finest writers.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJonathan Franzen\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of novels such as \u003ci\u003eThe Corrections\u003c\/i\u003e (2001), \u003ci\u003eFreedom\u003c\/i\u003e (2010), and \u003ci\u003eCrossroads\u003c\/i\u003e (2021), and works of nonfiction, including \u003ci\u003eFarther Away\u003c\/i\u003e (2012) and \u003ci\u003eThe End of the End of the Earth\u003c\/i\u003e (2018), all published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux.
