A review by mcboak
The Discomfort Zone: A Personal History, by Jonathan Franzen

3.0

I think I imagined more of a sequential retelling of Franzen’s life, but this memoir goes back and forth in time a lot. It includes quite a few people, which makes it easy to get them mixed up. It also covers his thought processes as they relate to what phase of life he was in, much of the time relating it to literature and language. With that, it could get a little dense, but only one portion of the book was heavily geared towards that.
