Purity is Jonathan Franzen's newest novel (and these bricks are few and far between), the story of Purity Taylor (called "Pip"), a girl raised by an isolationist mother and who never knew her father, and who gets involved with a charismatic professional Internet leaker... It's not an easy plot to describe, but it's less about the plot than the characters, each section essentially a character portrait linking to the others. And it's a quality of Franzen's always clever and astute prose that you actually resent the change from one protagonist to another, until the next one anyway. The book's title obviously evokes a theme, and all the characters want to remain "pure" in some way, although that purity takes on different forms. And yet, they also rebel against that purity. It's a very sexual book, using its characters' sexuality as an important brush stroke in its portraitures. Less obviously funny than his other books, it's nevertheless a gorgeous read. I can never get tired of Franzen's prose and rich characters; the story itself is perhaps secondary.
