Great review. Completely agree, I read this after finishing corrections, freedom and purity craving more Franzen but ended up giving it a 1* on goodreads!

I remember you saying his essays were bad, I almost gave up early on but I stuck with it and liked some of the later ones. I think they'll only be interesting to people looking for writing advice!

I couldn't disagree more. I pretty much loved every essay and found Lost in The Mail fascinating. I think the collection is less about writing and reading and more about the state that America is in and its relationship with capitalism. Also, First City is about living in New York and there's not much to say? That whole essay pretty much rekindles Baudrillard's writings on American identity or lack of, through its urban and suburban sprawls, did you skim through that one?
