人们提到乔纳森.弗兰岑(Jonathan Franzen)总会想起他那双眉紧蹙、神情焦虑的表情——带着这幅表情他登上了2010年8月《时代》周刊的杂志封面。这是《时代》封面近20年来除了斯蒂芬.金之外的唯一作家,与君特•格拉斯、汤姆•沃尔夫、乔治•奥威尔和约翰•厄普代克为伍。...
评分这是一本受畅销书排行榜的影响购入的书,小说。衡量一本杰出的小说的依据是什么?第一是代入感,第二是真实,第三是对隐藏事物的解密。代入感,就是那种觉得里面的一个场景如同发生在自己身上的似曾相识。这本书做到了。翻译也很好,没有读到任何刻意做作和明显的翻译问题。美...
评分当我跟别人说我喜欢逛书店的时候,我脑袋里首先浮现的就是我熟悉的各种封面。自由的封面吸引我纯粹是因为这个宏大的书名。这是我在豆瓣阅读买这本书的傻逼理由。 Jonathan Franzen,在百度一下了他之后我得到一个好笑的发现:2010年我就错过了他。2010年八月我参加高中那时候组...
评分by周鸣之 从美国著名作家弗兰岑的小说《自由》中读到关于后9·11时代美国家庭、社会与政治的段落时,颇有些怪异的感觉。一来出于某种众所周知的偏见,600多页的大部头小说,加之以细致的现实主义笔墨刻画当代事件,不免生出今夕何夕的错觉(弗兰岑也以此非同一般的雄心被冠...
评分自由与束缚,本是两个相悖的概念,犹如鱼与熊掌不可得兼。自由主义者游走于现实与理想的两极,在时代与自我之间寻求某种微妙的平衡,却常常于不经意间陷入现实的泥淖无以自拔。从《纠正》到《自由》,这种现代人的生存困境始终是美国作家乔纳森•弗兰岑关注的重点所在。 小...

From the National Book Award-winning author of The Corrections , a darkly comedic novel about family
Patty and Walter Berglund were the new pioneers of old St. Paulthe gentrifiers, the hands-on parents, the avant-garde of the Whole Foods generation. Patty was the ideal sort of neighbor, who could tell you where to recycle your batteries and how to get the local cops to actually do their job. She was an enviably perfect mother and the wife of Walter’s dreams. Together with Walterenvironmental lawyer, commuter cyclist, total family manshe was doing her small part to build a better world.
But now, in the new millennium, the Berglunds have become a mystery. Why has their teenage son moved in with the aggressively Republican family next door? Why has Walter taken a job working with Big Coal? What exactly is Richard Katzoutré rocker and Walter’s college best friend and rivalstill doing in the picture? Most of all, what has happened to Patty? Why has the bright star of Barrier Street become a very different kind of neighbor,” an implacable Fury coming unhinged before the street’s attentive eyes?
In his first novel since The Corrections , Jonathan Franzen has given us an epic of contemporary love and marriage. Freedom comically and tragically captures the temptations and burdens of liberty: the thrills of teenage lust, the shaken compromises of middle age, the wages of suburban sprawl, the heavy weight of empire. In charting the mistakes and joys of Freedom ’s intensely realized characters as they struggle to learn how to live in an ever more confusing world, Franzen has produced an indelible and deeply moving portrait of our time.
I like the way to tell a story
评分好书好书!
评分masterpiece
评分Didn't finish it. Against all the rave reviews I find the book a duller and far less smart re-write of Rabbit Run. Franzen's style simply does nothing for me: among all the indirect narrations I feel I am only scraping off the surface of the characters instead of living their worlds through them.
评分书很好,kindle读的所以没拿到签名。啊作者本人实在有趣,有一种nerdy的fu。
