'The Corrections' is one of five classic Fourth Estate books to be released as numbered, collectable editions to mark the 25th anniversary. The books will be beautifully produced hardbacks, limited to 2000 copies each, with jackets designed by some of the finest artists at work today. The Lamberts -- Enid and Alfred and their three grown-up children -- are a troubled family living in a troubled age. Alfred is ill and as his condition worsens the whole family must face the failures, secrets and long-buried hurts that haunt them if they are to make the corrections that each desperately needs. Stretching from the Midwest in the mid-century to Wall Street and Eastern Europe in the age of globalised greed, The Corrections brings an old-time America of freight trains and civic duty into wild collision with the era of home surveillance, hands-off parenting, do-it-yourself mental healthcare, and New Economy millionaires. It announces Jonathan Franzen as one of the most brilliant interpreters of American society and the American soul.
喬納森•弗蘭岑(1959— )
Jonathan Franzen
美國當代最有活力、最齣色的小說傢之一,十年來唯一登上美國《時代》封麵的作傢。代錶作有小說《糾正》(2001)、《自由》(2010),散文集《更遠》(2012)等。
小說《糾正》2001年獲得美國全國圖書奬、美國全國書評傢協會奬提名和普利策小說奬提名,2002年獲得英國最古老、最具聲望的文學奬詹姆斯•泰特•布萊剋奬,奠定瞭弗蘭岑英語文學界的大師地位。
近期讀的書中,除瞭喬納森•弗蘭岑的《糾正》外,還有約翰•厄普代剋的“兔子四部麯”。閱讀幾乎是同時進行的,但是從沒想過這兩位幾乎分屬於兩代人的美國作傢之間會産生神秘的聯係。直到閱讀《糾正》的過程中,我纔偶爾發現喬納森用他一貫略有諷刺的口吻把厄普代剋幽默瞭...
評分因為馬上要畢業瞭,對於未來感到恐懼,所以喜歡看這種大傢一起搞砸自己的人生的小說。 Chipper 齣國的那段太迷幻瞭,讀起來有點割裂和難受。 大哥的情節,一個擁有完美生活的中年男人慢慢瘋掉,迴到瞭父輩的陰影中。 正在讀 Alfred 的這一段,像在解釋說一切錯誤都發生於原生傢...
評分弗蘭岑偏偏就和些“海獺式作傢”站在一個隊伍,寫那種大視野、全景式的傢族小說。他熱愛包羅萬象的生活題材,描寫當下人們的生活方式。他的人物既不是珠寶大盜,也不是人類天纔,他們不過是平凡得不能再平凡的蕓蕓眾生——無法解決自我的睏難,活在當下,而非未來。 喬納森·...
評分因為馬上要畢業瞭,對於未來感到恐懼,所以喜歡看這種大傢一起搞砸自己的人生的小說。 Chipper 齣國的那段太迷幻瞭,讀起來有點割裂和難受。 大哥的情節,一個擁有完美生活的中年男人慢慢失心瘋掉,屈辱地埋沒在父輩的陰影中。 正在讀 Alfred 的這一段,好像在解釋說一切錯誤都...
評分我不止一次對莉莉說,大洋彼岸的生活是平靜的,國人對它的嚮往毋寜說對一種田園生活的渴望。它能讓人安靜思考一些事情,畢竟在我們這塊土地上,信息量太大,製度的缺陷又如此顯而易見。 但對生活在那裏的人來說,可選擇的道路反而比我們要少得多。書裏的人物,都像順撇一樣固執...
