Franzen, Jonathan: The Corrections (Paperback)

Enid versucht ein letztes Mal, ihre exzentrischen Kinder einzuladen. Eine zutiefst menschliche Geschichte über altmodische Tugenden, sexuelle Verwirrungen und Erziehungsnotstand: Brillant, humorvoll und tragisch. Enid tries one last time to invite her eccentric children. A brilliant and tragic story about a family, old-fashioned values and modern problems.

Stretching from the Midwest in the mid-century to Wall Street and Eastern Europe in the age of globalised greed, this book 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.
