The Kraus Project: Essays by Karl Kraus Hardcover - 2013

From the jacket flap

Praise for author Jonathan Franzen:

"A literary genius for our time." --Jonathan Jones, The Guardian

"Franzen is arguably America's greatest living novelist . . . He writes continually about writing and reading, luxuriating in language and sticking up for literature for literature's sake." --Paul Clements, The Daily Telegraph

"Never less than superbly intelligent."

--Richard Davenport-Hines, The Spectator

"Little contends with Franzen's prose. He writes behemoth sentences, graceful, technical mini-wonders that read as easily as his most colloquial quips . . . Franzen never feels more lucid than when assessing--or more often championing--texts that have taken him by the lapels." --Sean Hoen, Paste

"Not only is Jonathan Franzen the most important novelist of our time, but . . . he is also an incredibly wise and clear-headed thinker who can humbly analyze and explain some of the most complex situations through the most poignant, insightful, and precise observations." --Randy Rosenthal, The Coffin Factory
