I agree entirely with your assessment of The 27th City, but I thought
Strong Motion was much better.  Not great, but a huge step upward for
Franzen.  I think many people are hoping that the Corrections will be
another big step up.  My opinion is that he has tremendous potential.

And in the potential department, two books from last year reveal writers
of staggering potential:

The Last Samurai by Helen DeWitt and Ghostwritten by David Mitchell
