Winner of the National Book Award for Fiction

Nominated for the National Book Critics Circle Award

An American Library Association Notable Book

Jonathan Franzen's third novel, The Corrections, is a great work of art and a grandly entertaining overture to our new century: a bold, comic, tragic, deeply moving family drama that stretches from the Midwest at mid-century to Wall Street and Eastern Europe in the age of greed and globalism. Franzen brings an old-time America of freight trains and civic duty, of Cub Scouts and Christmas cookies and sexual inhibitions, into brilliant collision with the modern absurdities of brain science, home surveillance, hands-off parenting, do-it-yourself mental healthcare, and the anti-gravity New Economy. With The Corrections, Franzen emerges as one of our premier interpreters of American society and the American soul.

Enid Lambert is terribly, terribly anxious. Although she would never admit it to her neighbors or her three grown children, her husband, Alfred, is losing his grip on reality. Maybe it's the medication that Alfred takes for his Parkinson's disease, or maybe it's his negative attitude, but he spends his days brooding in the basement and committing shadowy, unspeakable acts. More and more often, he doesn't seem to understand a word Enid says.

Trouble is also brewing in the lives of Enid's children. Her older son, Gary, a banker in Philadelphia, has turned cruel and materialistic and is trying to force his parents out of their old house and into a tiny apartment. The middle child, Chip, has suddenly and for no good reason quit his exciting job as a professor at D------ College and moved to New York City, where he seems to be pursuing a "transgressive" lifestyle and writing some sort of screenplay. Meanwhile the baby of the family, Denise, has escaped her disastrous marriage only to pour her youth and beauty down the drain of an affair with a married man--or so Gary hints.

Enid, who loves to have fun, can still look forward to a final family Christmas and to the ten-day Nordic Pleasurelines Luxury Fall Color Cruise that she and Alfred are about to embark on. But even these few remaining joys are threatened by her husband's growing confusion and unsteadiness. As Alfred enters his final decline, the Lamberts must face the failures, secrets, and long-buried hurts that haunt them as a family if they are to make the corrections that each desperately needs.

读后感

评分

是我人生活到现在读过的最好的两本书之一,另一本是(百年孤独)。 典型的美国西部的故事,年迈的父母和3个长大成人的孩子,生活中,你想要的,不想要的,期望的,被期望的,向往的,后悔的,痛恨的,迷失的。大量的心理的描写和琐碎的生活情节,使看书的人心理并不轻松,...  

评分

近期读的书中,除了乔纳森•弗兰岑的《纠正》外,还有约翰•厄普代克的“兔子四部曲”。阅读几乎是同时进行的,但是从没想过这两位几乎分属于两代人的美国作家之间会产生神秘的联系。直到阅读《纠正》的过程中,我才偶尔发现乔纳森用他一贯略有讽刺的口吻把厄普代克幽默了...  

评分

全书613页总共出现过“纠正”这个词七次(如果我没漏掉几个的话)。总体分析看来,这些“纠正”都是有意设置的。 【1】P51,第二行。“过了五星期,纠正了共计一万或五千个错误之后,在万圣节那个刮风的夜晚,他依然在批改论文。” 这里写的是奇普还是教授的时候,孜孜不倦地...

当意识到自己已经浪费了太多时间浏览(甚至只是刷新)网页,我(仍然是通过点击)买来了kindle阅览器,而入账的第一本书,是乔纳森•弗兰岑(Jonathan Franzen)的《如何孤独》(How to Be Alone, 2002)。弗兰岑以抨击传媒时代、宣扬文以载道著称,我想我有必要接受他的再教...  

评分

弗兰岑偏偏就和些“海獭式作家”站在一个队伍,写那种大视野、全景式的家族小说。他热爱包罗万象的生活题材,描写当下人们的生活方式。他的人物既不是珠宝大盗,也不是人类天才,他们不过是平凡得不能再平凡的芸芸众生——无法解决自我的困难,活在当下,而非未来。 乔纳森·...

好读说明写作功力好 有争议说明作者有立场 但没有什么新鲜内容也没有太多深度 建议跳过直接读WALLACE

评分

凌乱的家庭,每人都有自己的不正常,让人有时候着急有时候感动。不过还是Purity更好看。

评分

从美国中西部到东部,从西方到东方,政治,经济,美食,哲学,戏剧。跨度很大,但归根到底还是年迈父母和三个儿女之间的故事。而为什么我们总是急于插手修正他人的生活?
