       Praise

      From the reviews of The Kraus Project:

      Financial Times Book of the Year

      ‘An experimental collage of texts, and all the better for it … The Kraus Project is tremendously readable and is refreshingly skeptical of the cult of digital cool. Franzen’s prose has an appealing briskness and a polemical force’

      Jason Cowley, Financial Times

      ‘Engrossing, highly original … Franzen finds in the unduly neglected Kraus a model of how to provoke readers while at the same time getting them to do some work’

      Edmund Fawcett, New York Times Book Review

      ‘It IS worth it, despite, as well as because of, the difficulties, so congratulations all round … thanks to Franzen, more people will remember him’

      Nicholas Lezard, Evening Standard

      ‘A passionate and concerned work … You can understand why Franzen likes him, and sees a dearth of such elegance today’

      Jonathan Dean, Sunday Times
