Synopsis
Louis Holland and his family inherit stock in a chemicals company after an earthquake kills a family member--and then find that it's the company's waste-disposal practices that caused the earthquake in the first place. Originally published in 1992, STRONG MOTION was inspired by a job Jonathan Franzen once had in a seismology lab at Harvard; in the novel, earthquakes are a metaphor for social upheavals.
