The Twenty-Seventh City

Franzen, Jonathan

The critically acclaimed first novel from Jonathan Franzen, author of the prize winning and internationally bestselling, ’The Corrections’. By the author of the bestseller ’The Corrections’ and the sensational ’Freedom’, ’The Twenty-Seventh City’ is a novel of intrigue, humour and fear. 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 unravelling into terror and dark comedy.
