Corrections

Stretching from the Midwest at midcentury to the Wall Street and Eastern Europe of today, The Corrections brings an old-fashioned world of civic virtue and sexual inhibitions into violent collision with the era of home surveillance, hands-off parenting, do-it-yourself mental health care, and globalized greed. Richly realistic, darkly hilarious, deeply humane, it confirms Jonathan Franzen as one of our most brilliant interpreters of American society and the American soul.

Intinzandu-se de la Midwest la mijlocul secolului pana la Wall Street si Europa de Est de astazi, The Corrections aduce o lume de moda veche a virtutii civice si inhibitii sexuale intr-o coliziune violenta cu epoca supravegherii acasa, a parintilor fara maini, a ingrijirii sanatatii mintale ,,do-it-yourself" si a lacomiei globalizate. Bogat de realist, intunecat de hilar, profund uman, il confirma pe Jonathan Franzen drept unul dintre cei mai straluciti interpreti ai societatii americane si a sufletului american.
