Now Reading: Purity by Jonathan Franzen
“In the beginning of the novel Purity, the protagonist is a college graduate living in the Bay Area (where I spent time while attending college) struggling in post-graduate debt and unsure of her life ahead. Then the story expands to a global scale as Purity joins a rogue organization that exposes corporate exploits. There’s a very twisted, satiric but introspective storyline that reflects upon family values and the life of today, the age of the Internet. I think the story is very intriguing and relatable, and I enjoyed seeing regional references like Telegraph Avenue and co-ops in Oakland as well as global, such as Wikileaks.”
