Winner of the National Book Award for FictionNominated for the National Book Critics Circle AwardAn American Library Association Notable BookJonathan 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.
Jonathan Franzen is the author of Freedom, selected for Oprah's Book Club, The Twenty-Seventh City and Strong Motion, and two works of nonfiction, How to Be Alone and The Discomfort Zone, all published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. In 1996, he was named one of Granta's Best of Young American Novelists. The Corrections won the National Book Award and was a finalist for the Pulitzer and Pen/Faulkner. He lives in New York City and Santa Cruz, California.
Good American story, but not as good as “the freedom”. Bit too labored at times.

因为马上要毕业了,对于未来感到恐惧,所以喜欢看这种大家一起搞砸自己的人生的小说。 Chipper 出国的那段太迷幻了,读起来有点割裂和难受。 大哥的情节,一个拥有完美生活的中年男人慢慢失心疯掉,屈辱地埋没在父辈的阴影中。 正在读 Alfred 的这一段,好像在解释说一切错误都...
评分乔纳森曾经登上美国时代周刊的封面,给人的印象是一个胡子拉碴,不善言辞的呆板文艺人。的确,在这个fast food的年代,花十年的功夫写一本书的作家(其实大部分人也只能称之为作者)寥寥无几,尤其是写比较艰难的社会写实题材。想想吧,描述一个患有帕金森的父亲和一个患有忧郁...
评分书我是借来的,在看之前,习惯性的拆下腰封,拆下一切能拆下的东西。撇到封面上一句推销式的话:你会再次体会到阅读严肃文学的快感。我歪嘴一笑;现在看完,仍想这么歪嘴一笑。 这是一个家庭的故事,家庭的成员都个性十足,但也能看到身在一个家庭里命运的奇妙重合。 加里和...
评分【读品】罗豫/文 崇尚标新立异的年代,没有底气的作家恐怕还不敢老老实实写小说。美国作家乔纳森·弗兰岑的《纠正》一书,如果不是这个奖那个奖拿了一大堆,商业宣传上会相当缺乏“卖点”:主角是一个再平常不过的美国家庭,随便扔块石头到大洋彼岸就能砸到这么一家子。“人生...
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·...
