The Corrections
Author(s): Jonathan Franzen
This is a grandly entertaining novel for a new century- a comic,tragic masterpiece about a family breaking down in an age of easy fixes.Stretching from the Midwest at mid-century to the Wall Street and EasternEurope of today,this book brings and old fashioned world of civic vritue and sexual inhibitions into violent collision with the era of home surveillance,hands off parenting,do it yourself mental healthcare and greed.It is richly realistic,darkly hilarious and deeply humane.
