'The Corrections' is one of five classic Fourth Estate books to be released as numbered, collectable editions to mark the 25th anniversary. The books will be beautifully produced hardbacks, limited to 2000 copies each, with jackets designed by some of the finest artists at work today. The Lamberts -- Enid and Alfred and their three grown-up children -- are a troubled family living in a troubled age. Alfred is ill and as his condition worsens the whole family must face the failures, secrets and long-buried hurts that haunt them if they are to make the corrections that each desperately needs. Stretching from the Midwest in the mid-century to Wall Street and Eastern Europe in the age of globalised greed, The Corrections brings an old-time America of freight trains and civic duty into wild collision with the era of home surveillance, hands-off parenting, do-it-yourself mental healthcare, and New Economy millionaires. It announces Jonathan Franzen as one of the most brilliant interpreters of American society and the American soul.

是我人生活到现在读过的最好的两本书之一,另一本是(百年孤独)。 典型的美国西部的故事,年迈的父母和3个长大成人的孩子,生活中,你想要的,不想要的,期望的,被期望的,向往的,后悔的,痛恨的,迷失的。大量的心理的描写和琐碎的生活情节,使看书的人心理并不轻松,...
评分近期读的书中,除了乔纳森•弗兰岑的《纠正》外,还有约翰•厄普代克的“兔子四部曲”。阅读几乎是同时进行的,但是从没想过这两位几乎分属于两代人的美国作家之间会产生神秘的联系。直到阅读《纠正》的过程中,我才偶尔发现乔纳森用他一贯略有讽刺的口吻把厄普代克幽默了...
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...
