Jonathan Franzen in conversation with Maria Semple, Crossroads

Village Books is pleased to team up with 5 stellar PNW bookstores to bring this great event to you on zoom! Tickets are $35 and each comes with an autographed copy of Crossroads (while supplies last!). Jonathan Franzen’s gift for wedding depth and vividness of character with breadth of social vision has never been more dazzlingly evident than in Crossroads. A tour de force of interwoven perspectives and sustained suspense, its action largely unfolding on a single winter day, Crossroads is the story of a Midwestern family at a pivotal moment of moral crisis. Jonathan Franzen’s gift for melding the small picture and the big picture has never been more dazzlingly evident.
