Frazen's latest novel, Freedom, had me completely engrossed. His characters are a combination of compelling, depressing and flawed - and so touchingly human. I've read a few reviews of people hating the book, and would agree that the first few pages were a little tough to get through.
I didn't like all of the characters, all of the time, but I found their mistakes and in some ways, their redemption, encouraging. Plenty of mistakes and joys, plenty of people living their life imperfectly perfect.
None of this tells you, of course, what the book is about.
That's because I think you should read it.
