The Corrections
By Jonathan Franzen
Because the Lamberts helped us live with our very American flaws.
The
Corrections is a
grandly entertaining novel for the new century—a comic, tragic masterpiece about a
family breaking down in an age of easy fixes. Richly realistic, darkly hilarious
and deeply humane, it confirms that Jonathan Franzen is one of our most
brilliant interpreters of American society and
American soul.
