A sprawling, darkly comic epic of a Midwestern family's unraveling and desperate attempts at correction.
A Family's Flawed Pursuit of Happiness
Jonathan Franzen's National Book Award-winning novel, "The Corrections," offers an incisive, often hilarious, and deeply moving portrait of the Lambert family. As the aging parents, Alfred and Enid, navigate declining health and a desire for one last traditional Christmas, their adult children struggle with their own messy lives, careers, and relationships. Franzen masterfully dissects the generational tensions, unspoken resentments, and enduring love that bind and break families apart. It's a brilliant, sprawling examination of American life, ambition, and the elusive nature of contentment.
