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.
by周鸣之 从美国著名作家弗兰岑的小说《自由》中读到关于后9·11时代美国家庭、社会与政治的段落时,颇有些怪异的感觉。一来出于某种众所周知的偏见,600多页的大部头小说,加之以细致的现实主义笔墨刻画当代事件,不免生出今夕何夕的错觉(弗兰岑也以此非同一般的雄心被冠...
评分濒临灭绝的现实主义 在《自由》这部六百页大部头的最后,印有作者弗兰岑的一句话:“我唯一不会谈论的问题便是自由,对读者而言,这似乎是一个独立的考验。我希望你们在读完后能抽出五分钟来想一想:这本书为什么叫‘自由’。”这其中,反叛、乃至挑衅的意味是鲜明的,在经历了...
评分不写书评不能点看过,这可真憋死我了…… 《自由》据说是畅销书?拿到的时候主任问我好不好看,我想了一下,说道:“美国的畅销书,应该会比较好读了,要是法国的德国的恐怕我都不敢在完全不了解作者情节等等的情况下买了。” — — 结果是,不怎么好读,没搞懂怎么就畅销了...
评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...
好书好书!
