"Freedom" tells the story of the dreams and failures of a middle-class American family in a decade in the 21st century. Jonathan Franzen uses a mixture of tragedy and joy to dramatically depict the temptation and burden that having too much freedom brings to people: whether it is an emotionally entangled housewife, a husband who insists on being a good person, a rock singer with an unstable spirit, or a rebellious and confused adolescent child, it turns out that freedom brings us, It is everything except happiness... Franzen focuses on the specific details of life, and uses words full of thinking and power to "record" how various characters struggle to learn to survive and find meaning in a superficial entertainment world, and to experience human beings' monstrous desires and boundless pain, and paint a majestic portrait of the times.
