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.
《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...
評分 評分 評分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.
评分3.5,幾條故事綫中寫得最好的就是Walter和Patty之間撕心裂肺的感情糾葛,最不可信的是Walter的Trust Fund和兒子Joey的summer intern。對當前美國精神危機之下核心傢庭所麵對的社會、道德問題,對人性與情感的描寫鞭闢入裏,另一方麵許多情節轉摺、人物設置和境遇又刻意得讓人揚起眼角。最為本身為書中世界觀之一object的Patty的自傳,雖然本身並不是bad literature,但這種設置本身極其不讓人信服。情節發展有時拖延得冗長痛苦。總體而言肯定是被媒體過譽的一部小說,但還是挺有可讀性的。
