Novelists Jonathan Franzen and David Leavitt on this edition of Fresh Air. Jonathan Franzen's critically acclaimed new novel The Corrections is a saga about two generations of an American family, the parents and their children, and the family's response to the illness of the father. Fellow novelist Don DeLillo says, "Franzen has built a powerful novel out of the swarming consciousness of a marriage, a family, a whole culture. And he has done it with a sympathy and expansiveness." David Leavitt's new book is Martin Bauman; or, A Sure Thing. It is a look at the Manhattan publishing scene as viewed through the eyes of 19-year-old Martin Bauman. Leavitt's own first book, Family Dancing, was published when he was just 23. Leavitt's other books include The Lost Language of Cranes, Equal Affections, and While England Sleeps. (Original Broadcast Dates: November 5, 2001 and September 25, 2000)
