Whether he's writing about the explosive dynamics of a Christian youth fellowship in the 1970s, the effects of Kafka's fiction on his protracted quest to lose his virginity, or the web of connections between bird watching, his all-consuming marriage, and the problem of global warming, Franzen is always feelingly engaged with the world we live in now. \u003ci\u003eThe Discomfort Zone\u003c\/i\u003e is a wise, funny, and gorgeously written self-portrait by one of America's finest writers.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Picador","offers":[{"title":"Discomfort Zone: A Personal History | Jonathan Franzen | Paperback | 9780312426408 | Used: Like New | Memoir 1634468","offer_id":48700064694424,"sku":"1634468","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81TByrSdlKL.jpg?v=1773771209","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/discomfort-zone-a-personal-history","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
