FRANZEN, JONATHAN. The Corrections.
Picador USA, New York: 2002. Softcover. Good condition. A comic, tragic epic stretching from the Midwest of the mid twentieth century 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, After almost fifty years as a wife and mother, Enid is ready to have some fun. Unfortunately, her husband, Alfred, is losing his sanity to Parkinson's disease, and their children have long since flown the family nest to the catastrophes of their own lives. Desperate for some pleasure to look forward to, Enid has set her heart on bringing the family together for one last Christmas at home. Winner of the National Book Award. ¶ 566 pages.
Offered for US$ 4.95 by: Ad Infinitum Books - Book number: 66484X1
