De Correcties by Jonathan Franzen
A sprawling domestic satire that follows an aging Midwestern couple and their three grown children as a planned ‘‘last’’ family Christmas meant to set everyone straight instead exposes buried resentments, financial collapse, infidelity and a parent’s progressive neurological decline; through sharply drawn portraits of a controlling banker, a wayward academic-turned-swindler and a driven chef, the novel lays bare the fractures beneath suburban respectability while probing late-20th-century capitalism, cultural change and the often futile longing for personal and familial repair.
