From the National Book Award-winning author of The Corrections , a darkly comedic novel about family
Patty and Walter Berglund were the new pioneers of old St. Paulthe gentrifiers, the hands-on parents, the avant-garde of the Whole Foods generation. Patty was the ideal sort of neighbor, who could tell you where to recycle your batteries and how to get the local cops to actually do their job. She was an enviably perfect mother and the wife of Walter’s dreams. Together with Walterenvironmental lawyer, commuter cyclist, total family manshe was doing her small part to build a better world.
But now, in the new millennium, the Berglunds have become a mystery. Why has their teenage son moved in with the aggressively Republican family next door? Why has Walter taken a job working with Big Coal? What exactly is Richard Katzoutré rocker and Walter’s college best friend and rivalstill doing in the picture? Most of all, what has happened to Patty? Why has the bright star of Barrier Street become a very different kind of neighbor,” an implacable Fury coming unhinged before the street’s attentive eyes?
In his first novel since The Corrections , Jonathan Franzen has given us an epic of contemporary love and marriage. Freedom comically and tragically captures the temptations and burdens of liberty: the thrills of teenage lust, the shaken compromises of middle age, the wages of suburban sprawl, the heavy weight of empire. In charting the mistakes and joys of Freedom ’s intensely realized characters as they struggle to learn how to live in an ever more confusing world, Franzen has produced an indelible and deeply moving portrait of our time.
喬納森·弗蘭岑,美國著名小說傢、隨筆作傢。以抨擊現代傳媒、書寫普通民眾著稱,作品具有強烈的時代性。
1959年生於伊利諾伊州,1981年畢業於斯沃思莫學院德文專業。1996年,在《哈潑氏》雜誌上發錶瞭長篇隨筆《偶爾做做夢》,錶達瞭他對文學現狀的擔憂,從此受到廣泛關注。迄 今為止,齣版有小說《第二十七座城市》(1988)、《強震》(1992)、《糾正》(2001),隨筆集《如何孤獨》(2002),以及迴憶錄《不舒適地帶:個人史》(2006)。憑藉《糾正》獲得普利策奬提名和美國國傢圖書奬。
2010年,第四部小說《自由》一麵世即引發搶購熱潮,迅速登上各大暢銷書榜,被評論界譽為“世紀小說”。
讀瞭一半卻還是明州傢庭主婦的倫理大戲之後就爛尾瞭, 基本上這輩子讀不完瞭.
評分Didn't finish it. Against all the rave reviews I find the book a duller and far less smart re-write of Rabbit Run. Franzen's style simply does nothing for me: among all the indirect narrations I feel I am only scraping off the surface of the characters instead of living their worlds through them.
評分You are a child of your family...
評分A masterpiece. It's a book that Tolstoy would have written in a modern setting, about dysfunctional middle class, in the style of bourgeois realism.
評分2010.11.23 一言蔽之,美國的新結婚時代。在短小篇幅裏編織進這麼多時事政治運動和曆史,都算是比一般小說高明的地方。但是NYT的贊美給我太多high hopes,導緻看到cheesy的結局,有點不是滋味。看的時候,有些moments還是很enjoy,有些細節也寫得對胃口(e.g.我和Joey在大學時間差不多)。That said, 看完以後,總覺得所有的characters都unreal & faked & overdone。p.s. 我喜歡書裏麵的一個觀點 - 一個人不能有太多的自由,因為這會導緻生活的無趣以及毀滅。但是我不覺得這個想法有被貫穿至結局,因此整個作品顯得非常破碎。(本來用英文寫瞭一些感想,但是居然超過字數,隨便翻譯看看吧。)
《2666》这本书因为太过扯淡,看到一半已经杯扔在一边了。悲催的是这书还是我花了正版的价钱在天猫买的,我想,一个小说家怎么能把小说写成这样——卡夫卡的小说我都能记住他的主人公基本叫k,王小波的小说主人公基本叫王二,2666的主人公我不知道叫什么——他真是该死,还好...
評分那本已经夭折的杂志《大方》第二期上曾刊登过美国作家乔纳森•弗兰岑的一篇随笔《远方》。那是一篇风格有些奇特的随笔,可以看作是游记与小说理论的结合体。那篇文字给我留下印象深刻的是弗兰岑为遥远的传统,以史诗为所有文化的主要特征的旧小说观念辩护。前现代文化中,我...
評分这是一本受畅销书排行榜的影响购入的书,小说。衡量一本杰出的小说的依据是什么?第一是代入感,第二是真实,第三是对隐藏事物的解密。代入感,就是那种觉得里面的一个场景如同发生在自己身上的似曾相识。这本书做到了。翻译也很好,没有读到任何刻意做作和明显的翻译问题。美...

評分在这本厚达六百页的书的腰封上,印着作者的一段话:“我唯一不会谈论的问题便是自由......”但对读者来说,要看出作者为什么把此书命名为“自由”并不是件难事,相反,可以说是显而易见。书中的人物形形色色,但几乎都与“自由”这个抽象的概念分不开来。 帕蒂,这...
