About this product
Product Information
From the National Book Award-winning author of The Corrections, a darkly comedic novel about family.Patty and Walter Berglund were the new pioneers of old St. Paul-the gentrifiers, the hands-on parents, the avant-garde of the Whole Foods generation. Patty was the ideal sort of neighbor, who could tell you where to recycle your batteries and how to get the local cops to actually do their job. She was an enviably perfect mother and the wife of Walter's dreams. Together with Walter-environmental lawyer, commuter cyclist, total family man-she was doing her small part to build a better world. But now, in the new millennium, the Berglunds have become a mystery. Why has their teenage son moved in with the aggressively Republican family next door? Why has Walter taken a job working with Big Coal? What exactly is Richard Katz-outre rocker and Walter's college best friend and rival-still doing in the picture? Most of all, what has happened to Patty? Why has the bright star of Barrier Street become "a very different kind of neighbor," an implacable Fury coming unhinged before the street's attentive eyes? In his first novel since The Corrections, Jonathan Franzen has given us an epic of contemporary love and marriage. Freedom comically and tragically captures the temptations and burdens of liberty: the thrills of teenage lust, the shaken compromises of middle age, the wages of suburban sprawl, the heavy weight of empire. In charting the mistakes and joys of Freedom's intensely realized characters as they struggle to learn how to live in an ever more confusing world, Franzen has produced an indelible and deeply moving portrait of our time."

The audio version of Freedom , read by David LeDoux, is perhaps the best read audio book I've ever heard., Jonathan Franzen's latest, Freedom, is a big, brilliantly evoked novel...Freedom's strongly articulated characters will draw you in, and David LeDoux's intelligent performance maintains the right narrative pace throughout., Freedom is one of the best-read audio books of recent years, and well worth the time and emotional involvement that's needed to enjoy it., [A] magisterial account. Exhaustively researched and engagingly written, this marvelous book tells an epic story. It paints on a broad canvas, yet simultaneously limns detailed and fascinating miniatures of compelling people and places. It deserves a spot on the bookshelf alongside David Kennedy's Pulitzer Prize-winning "Freedom From Fear" as the definitive rendering of the World War II home front., Masterful describes not only Jonathan Franzen's latest novel but also David Ledoux's reading of the book... The listener is drawn deeper into the story, experiencing every moment with the Berglunds as they try to cope with the changes in the world and in their home. FREEDOM demonstrates the power of both the written and spoken word., "Its 25 hours of nonstop audio brilliance that has won [David] Ledoux the Audio File award for best reading of the year...Make no mistake: "Freedom" is one of the best-read audio books of recent years, and well worth the time and emotional involvement that's needed to enjoy it." - The Winston-Salem Journal "Masterful describes not only Jonathan Franzen's latest novel but also David Ledoux's reading of the book...

He expertly captures Walter and Pattywith her anxious whinny of a laughand their family life with its satisfactions and histrionics. LeDoux also deftly renders the gossiping of the Berglund's disingenuous neighbors; the frenetic rants of the drug addled Eliza; and the weary, disaffected drawl of sleazy musician Richard." - Publishers Weekly "The audio version of Freedom, read by David LeDoux, is perhaps the best read audio book I've ever heard." - Eric Alterman, The Nation "Jonathan Franzen's latest, Freedom, is a big, brilliantly evoked novel...Freedom's strongly articulated characters will draw you in, and David LeDoux's intelligent performance maintains the right narrative pace throughout."

They were exactly as described by seller, I even received them a little quicker than expected. Although they were packed very nicely, (each shoe individually wrapped in tissue and bubble wrap) they came in a plastic shipping envelope and I would have preferred a box, just to insure they don't get creased or smushed during shipping, but thankfully, they were fine. Would definitely buy from seller again.
