Thinking about Purity as groundwork for Crossroads has made it a more forgiving read, it is also developing into something more interesting (pacing is unlike his other novels).

Every author has a crap book. This is one by my favourite author. What I've noticed though, is that bad books normally have the potential to be good books if they were ~70% shorter. So my thinking is, maybe it never makes sense to make a long novel? Why put in more work when you increasing the risk your readers won't enjoy it? I've never been happy for a long read... Have you?!?

Something off about this one by Franzen... he's broke realism and went to what seems to be seemingly uncomfortable areas.
