Icarus at home # 6
Having finally finished Freedom by Jonathan Franzen early this morning it occurred to me that the entire novel, all 562 pages could have been summed up in a single song. A bit like John Grace's Digested Reads (see http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2007/sep/07/bookscomment.digestedread). But of course the song is a bit special and so I am posting two versions here - for gender balance and because it involves three of my favourite pop singers - you see the novel is just another Tennessee Waltz:
