In 2010, after ten years, an American writer saw his picture on the cover of Time magazine, next to him there was a big headline "Great American Novelist" and a little lower, a little smaller "Jonathan Franzen shows us how we live." This is an accurate and concise description of Franzen's works. When Franzen writes about technology, when he digs into human relationships, when he mentions a friend from his past, and when he asks himself what it means to write a novel in the age of images and digital media, he is constantly searching for an answer to this great question. In his essays, he sees today's human beings in the context of social and urban life, and it is in this space that he considers helplessness and pain as a natural sign of being alive and living a responsible life.
