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《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...
评分 评分自由与束缚,本是两个相悖的概念,犹如鱼与熊掌不可得兼。自由主义者游走于现实与理想的两极,在时代与自我之间寻求某种微妙的平衡,却常常于不经意间陷入现实的泥淖无以自拔。从《纠正》到《自由》,这种现代人的生存困境始终是美国作家乔纳森•弗兰岑关注的重点所在。 小...
评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...
