Jonathan Franzen is my favourite living author and anytime he puts out a new book it's worth celebrating. I literally got into a fight with my boyfriend because I felt he rushed me in the bookstore when I went to purchase Crossroads and that it "ruined an experience I waited six years for." This was also an exciting release because it is apparently the first book in a trilogy! This was at odds with Franzen previously saying he doesn't believe he has many other 500-paged books left in him. He is referring to the trilogy as "A Key to All Mythologies." I learned this title is an inside joke with his current girlfriend and her ex-husband.
