Louis Holland arrives in Boston in a spring of ecological upheaval (a rash of earthquakes on the North Shore) and odd luck: the first one kills his grandmother. Louis tries to maintain his independence, but falls in love with a Harvard seismologist whose discoveries about the earthquakes' cause complicate everything.
Quotes by Jonathan Franzen
From WikiquoteOne of the consolations of dying... Seriously, the world is changing so quickly that if you had any more than 80 years of change I don't see how you could stand it psychologically.
Depression presents itself as a realism regarding the rottenness of the world in general and the rottenness of your life in particular.
An ink bottle, which now seems impossibly quaint, was still thinkable as a symbol in 1970.
