The twenty-seventh cityby Jonathan Franzen
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:St. Louis, Missouri, is a quietly dying river city until it hires a new police chief: a charismatic young woman from Bombay, India, named S. Jammu. No sooner has Jammu been installed, though, than the city's leading citizens become embroiled in an all-pervasive political conspiracy. A classic of contemporary fiction, The Twenty-Seventh City shows us an ordinary metropolis turned inside out, and the American Dream unraveling into terror and dark comedy. Review:"A huge and masterly drama...gripping and surreal and overwhelmingly convincing." Laura Shapiro, Newsweek Review:"An All-American hybrid that is nothing less than brilliant." Dan Cryer, Newsday Synopsis:A riveting work of suspense, an eerie fable of political life, a love story - this first novel by Jonathan Franzen, published to wide acclaim in 1988, is a sweeping and imaginative look at America in the twentieth century.
