Jonathan Franzen
A brilliantly perceptive and moving novel that announced Jonathan Franzen as one of our greatest living writers.
The Lamberts – Enid, Alfred and their three grown-up children – are a troubled family living in a troubled age. After fifty years as a wife and mother, Enid is ready to have some fun, but her husband Alfred is losing his mind to Parkinson’s. As his condition worsens, and the Lamberts are forced to face the long-buried secrets and failures that haunt them, Enid sets her heart on gathering everyone together for one last family Christmas.
‘Compellingly readable, funny and above all generous spirited’ Daily Mail
‘A novel of outstanding sympathy, wit, moral intelligence and pathos, a family saga told with stylistic brio and psychological and political insight’ Financial Times
‘A big-hearted, panoramic American epic, intelligent and wise but also wildly, stonkingly funny’ Independent
©2021 Jonathan Franzen (P)2021 HarperCollins Publishers LimitedKritikerstimmen
"Jonathan Franzen has built a powerful novel out of the swarming consciousness of a marriage, a family, a whole culture - our culture. And he has done it with a sympathy and expansiveness that bends the edgy modern temper to a generous breadth of vision." (Don DeLillo)
"Funny and deeply sad, large-hearted and merciless, The Corrections is a testament to the range and depth of pleasures great fiction affords." (David Foster Wallace)
"In its complexity, its scrutinizing and utterly unsentimental humanity, and its grasp of the subtle relationships between domestic drama and global events, The Corrections stands in the company of Mann's Buddenbrooks and DeLillo's White Noise. It is a major accomplishment." (Michael Cunningham)
"A genuine masterpiece, the first great American novel of the twenty-first century." (Elle)
"Funny, moving, generous, brutal and intelligent." (Guardian)
"Compellingly readable, funny and above all generous spirited." (Daily Mail)
"A novel of outstanding sympathy, wit, moral intelligence and pathos, a family saga told with stylistic brio and psychological and political insight." (Financial Times)
"A big-hearted, panoramic American epic, intelligent and wise but also wildly, stonkingly funny." (Independent)
