![]() ![]() Purity comes five years after Freedom and 14 years after The Corrections. When an internship with Wolf drops into her lap, she heads for South America, starting a series of revelations that result in a confession of murder, a suicide and the unlikely reunion of her parents. Pip cares little for such grandeur, but she thinks the project’s powerful servers might help her locate her missing father. From his camp in Bolivia, Wolf, an East German dissident turned political fugitive, runs an operation called the Sunlight Project, whose mission is to air the world’s dirty laundry. She knows nothing of her father-her mother obstinately refuses to reveal his identity-but her debt sends her on a quest to discover his name and, crucially, whether he can chip in on her monthly payments.Īlong the way, she meets a very contemporary character: Andreas Wolf, professional leaker, lady-killer and fierce rival of Julian Assange. Purity, who hates her name and goes by Pip, grew up with her eccentric mother in a 500-square-foot cabin outside Santa Cruz. Purity Tyler, the hero of Jonathan Franzen’s new novel, has a very contemporary problem: she owes $130,000 in college loans. ![]()
