Purity: A Novel - Jonathan Franzen

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
A NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW Notable Book

So funny, so sage and above all so incandescently intelligent (The Chicago Tribune), the New York Times bestseller Purity is a grand story of youthful idealism, extreme fidelity, and murder, a daring and penetrating book from the most intelligent novelist of [his] generation (The New Republic), Jonathan Franzen

Young Pip Tyler doesn t know who she is. She knows that her real name is Purity, that she s saddled with $130,000 in student debt, that she s squatting with anarchists in Oakland, and that her relationship with her mother her only family is hazardous. But she doesn t have a clue who her father is, why her mother chose to live as a recluse with an invented name, or how she ll ever have a normal life.

A glancing encounter with a German peace activist leads Pip to an internship in South America with the Sunlight Project, an organization that traffics in all the secrets of the world including, Pip hopes, the secret of her origins. TSP is the brainchild of Andreas Wolf, a charismatic provocateur. Now on the lam in Bolivia, Andreas is drawn to Pip for reasons she doesn t understand, and she is equally conflicted about her attraction to him.

The author of The Corrections and Freedom has imagined a world of vividly original characters, and he follows their intertwining paths through landscapes as contemporary as the omnipresent Internet and as ancient as the war between the sexes.
