''The Discomfort Zone: A Personal History'' is a 2006 memoir by Jonathan Franzen, who received the National Book Award for Fiction for his novel ''The Corrections'' in 2001.〔(National Book Foundation 2001 National Book Award Winners and Finalists )〕〔(National Book Foundation Jonathan Franzen National Book Award Acceptance Speech )〕 ==Themes== According to ''L'espresso'', ''The Discomfort Zone'' reflects the values and contradictions of the American midwest in the 1960s. Franzen holds up Charlie Brown from the ''Peanuts'' cartoons as an exemplary representation of life of the American middle class in the author's home town of Webster Groves, Missouri, and countless similar towns. Values such as the love of nature are described as being related to traditional Protestant values, and as waning because of the decline of traditional religious belief.〔"C´era una volta il Midwest", ''L´Espresso'', August 24, 2006, p. 120.〕 Perhaps most importantly, Franzen explores the duality of solitude and interpersonal relationships. Primarily using his mother's death as a metaphor for all human relationships, Franzen concludes that relationships are essential to our existence although we often fail to recognize and appreciate their importance at the time.
