Jonathan Franzen is my new favorite American author. His novels have wit, foundation and links to ordinary mundane life. What I love about his writing is the existential crisis in every character. Purity is no different. Already picked up as a tv show to be aired in 2017 with Daniel Craig as one of the stars, this novel is truly contemporary with main theme of whistle blowing and investigative journalism mixed with corporate greed and individual freedom.

Highly recommended. 4.5 stars.
