«Исправления» Джонатана Франзена - это темный, забавный шедевр реализма, повествующий об разрыве семьи в эпоху легкого решения проблем. После пятидесяти лет брака и материнства Энида Ламберт готова повеселиться. К сожалению, ее муж Альфред теряет рассудок, а их дети уже давно бежали от катастроф своей жизни. В то время как состояние Альфреда ухудшается и Ламберты вынуждены столкнуться со своими тайнами и неудачами, Энида собирается провести последнее семейное Рождество. Приводя эпохи гражданской добродетели и сексуальных запретов в насильственное столкновение с эпохой воспитания без помощи родителей и самолечения, «Исправления».
From the genius of Jonathan Franzen, the richest, darkest, and funniest novel yet about what happens when you least expect it. It's time for a change.
Enid Lambert welcomes it. After 50 years of marriage and 50 tries at being a 'good' wife and mother (which she has only failed at) she has had enough. Ashamed by the title her children and grandchildren now describe her as, she feels a fresh spark ignite when her aging husband falls victim to an alarming complication. Instead of plunging deeper into depression and despair, he flies into a fit of rage. Finally, oh finally, Enid finds a subject that brings genuine joy and excitement to her utterly unrewarding life.

Описание книги от Jonathan Franzen
From the author of ‘Freedom’, a richly realistic and darkly hilarious masterpiece about a family breakdown in an age of easy fixes.After fifty years as a wife and mother, Enid Lambert is ready to have some fun. Unfortunately her husband, Alfred, is losing his sanity, and their children have long since fled for the catastrophes of their own lives. As Alfred’s condition worsens and the Lamberts are forced to face their secrets and failures, Enid sets her heart on one last family Christmas.Bringing the old world of civic virtue and sexual inhibition into violent collision with the era of hands-off parenting, do-it-yourself mental healthcare and globalised greed, ‘The Corrections’ confirms Jonathan Franzen as one of the most brilliant interpreters of the American soul.
