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

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...

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·...

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...

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

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...

看得太累了。这么写生活也是种抵抗无聊的方式——只对作者而言。

应该是最后一本franzen了吧,可以想象在当年很火,但是现在这些family problem有点老生常谈了。但就作品本身而言,也有不少能感触到我的地方,有时间做一下读书笔记吧。

整整三个月,名不虚传,真的是一本很难的书。

The first chapter is well-written, the Chip story interesting and amusingly relatable, but then it's just so boring...
