A brilliant personal history from the award-winning author of `The Corrections`. Jonathan Franzen arrived late, and last, in a family of boys in Webster Groves, Missouri. `The Discomfort Zone` is his intimate memoir of his growth from a `small and fundamentally ridiculous person` through an adolescence both excruciating and strangely happy, into an adult with embarrassing and unexpected passions.
