Crossroads is the first novel in Jonathan Franzen's magnum opus, A Key to All Mythologies. The trilogy tells the story of a Midwestern family across three generations, mirroring the preoccupations and dilemmas of the United States from the Vietnam War to the 2020s. A sweeping yet deeply intimate story that encompasses all the "mythologies" - the political, religious, intellectual, social, and emotional crosscurrents that have swept like wildfire across American life in the past decades. Inspired in part by Elena Ferrante's rich and reverberant Naples books.
