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.

具體描述

讀後感

評分

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...  

評分

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...  

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...

評分

四十二岁出版一部虚构的家族编年史,对于一位年轻的小说家来说是极富有勇气的事。弗兰岑的小说简洁而精确,对家庭关系与社会关系的透视尤为出色,这并非来源于学术训练与阅读能够带给人的老练,而更多来源于生活予人切身的感触。 大段的描写削弱了主题与篇章、人物与家庭之间...  

評分

2014-11-05 发表于“腾讯·大家”专栏 终于用iPad上的kindle看完了《纠正》(当然是中文的,不过翻译得相当不自然)。 两儿一女的一对老夫妻,丈夫艾尔得了帕金森和阿兹海默病,妻子伊妮德既竭力照顾又心生怨气,对许多事(比如,丈夫的专利被别的公司以5000元买走,丈夫还要分...

Good American story, but not as good as “the freedom”. Bit too labored at times.
