The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen
The winner of THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD, the New York Times No.1 Bestseller and the worldwide literary sensation, The Corrections has established itself as a truly great American novel.•'Jonathan Franzen has written a remarkable novel about the family in the modern world, and in the world that has just left usIt pulls off its ambition with rare success – with wit and sympathy and without obtrusive writerly self-consciousness. You believe in the people inside it, their lives and their fate. A wonderful, illuminating book.'
Ian Jack, editor of Granta
• 'Full of understatement and overreaction, irony and anger, anthropology and surrealism, glut and glee The Corrections is the whole package…You will laugh, wince, groan weep, leave the table and maybe the country, promise never to go home again, and be reminded of why you read serious fiction in the first place.'
