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.

評分“她所有的纠正都是枉费心机,他依然像她初次与他见面时一样顽固。”退休铁路工程师、帕金森症晚期病人艾尔弗雷德,在几乎量不出血压的时候,依然在床上躺了一个礼拜,即便是他再也无力于逃避妻子的亲吻和抚摸,他依然会有力的摆动脑袋,来表达他的拒绝。 不过伊妮德...
評分这是一本据说在美国影响颇大的一本小说,在很多电影电视中都能看到它是主人公的最爱。但整整一年中,我把这本书拿起又放下,阅读就是无法持续。认真反思,总的一条,翻译太不好,生硬不说,还语义不清,根本不知所云!书的版面设计也很差,一眼看过去,文字稀稀拉拉就像没有几...
評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...
