Franzen, Jonathan.

The corrections / Jonathan Franzen. - 1st ed. - New York : Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2001. - 567 p. ; 24 cm.

Publisher description: 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.
