The Corrections
by Jonathan Franzen
《纠正》乔纳森·弗兰岑
曾获美国国家图书奖小说奖、美国国家书评人奖提名、美国图书馆协会名著——乔纳森·弗兰岑的第三部小说《纠正》是一部伟大的艺术作品，也是新世纪的一首极富娱乐性的序曲：
这是一部大胆、滑稽、悲惨、感人至深的家庭剧，从本世纪中叶的中西部延伸到贪婪和全球化时代的华尔街和东欧。
弗兰岑将一个充满货运列车和公民责任、幼童军、圣诞饼干和性禁忌的旧时代美国，与脑科学、家庭监控、放手育儿、自己动手做心理保健和反重力新经济等现代荒诞现象，进行了精彩的碰撞。
凭借《纠正》，弗兰岑成为我们对美国社会和美国灵魂的主要诠释者之一。
伊妮德·兰伯特非常非常焦虑。虽然她从来不会向邻居或三个成年子女承认这一点，但她的丈夫阿尔弗雷德（Alfred）正在失去对现实的控制。也许是因为阿尔弗雷德服用了治疗帕金森病的药物，也许是因为他的消极态度，他整天都在地下室里沉思，并做出一些阴暗的、难以启齿的行为。越来越多的时候，他似乎听不懂伊妮德说的话。伊妮德孩子们的生活也在酝酿着麻烦。她的大儿子加里是费城的一名银行家，他变得冷酷无情、物欲横流，并试图迫使父母搬出老房子，住进一间狭小的公寓。中间的孩子奇普突然无缘无故地辞去了令人兴奋的工作——学院的教授，搬到了纽约，在那里他似乎在追求一种 “越轨”的生活方式，并在写某种剧本。
与此同时，家里的宝贝丹妮丝逃离了她那灾难性的婚姻，却把她的青春和美貌都倾注在了和一个已婚男人的婚外情上——加里是这么暗示她的。喜欢玩乐的伊妮德还能期待最后一个家庭圣诞节，以及她和阿尔弗雷德即将开始的为期十天的北欧欢乐航线豪华秋色游。但是，由于她的丈夫越来越困惑和不稳定，就连这些仅存的欢乐也受到了威胁。
随着阿尔弗雷德进入最后的衰退期，兰贝特一家必须面对失败、秘密和埋藏已久的伤痛，这些都是困扰他们一家人的问题，如果他们想要做出每个人都迫切需要的改正，就必须面对这些问题。
Winner of the National Book Award for Fiction Nominated for the National Book Critics Circle Award An American Library Association Notable Book Jonathan Franzen’s third novel, The Corrections, is a great work of art and a grandly entertaining overture to our new century: a bold, comic, tragic, deeply moving family drama that stretches from the Midwest at mid-century to Wall Street and Eastern Europe in the age of greed and globalism. Franzen brings an old-time America of freight trains and civic duty, of Cub Scouts and Christmas cookies and sexual inhibitions, into brilliant collision with the modern absurdities of brain science, home surveillance, hands-off parenting, do-it-yourself mental healthcare, and the anti-gravity New Economy. With The Corrections, Franzen emerges as one of our premier interpreters of American society and the American soul. Enid Lambert is terribly, terribly anxious. Although she would never admit it to her neighbors or her three grown children, her husband, Alfred, is losing his grip on reality. Maybe it’s the medication that Alfred takes for his Parkinson’s disease, or maybe it’s his negative attitude, but he spends his days brooding in the basement and committing shadowy, unspeakable acts. More and more often, he doesn’t seem to understand a word Enid says. Trouble is also brewing in the lives of Enid’s children. Her older son, Gary, a banker in Philadelphia, has turned cruel and materialistic and is trying to force his parents out of their old house and into a tiny apartment. The middle child, Chip, has suddenly and for no good reason quit his exciting job as a professor at D—— College and moved to New York City, where he seems to be pursuing a “transgressive” lifestyle and writing some sort of screenplay. Meanwhile the baby of the family, Denise, has escaped her disastrous marriage only to pour her youth and beauty down the drain of an affair with a married man–or so Gary hints. Enid, who loves to have fun, can still look forward to a final family Christmas and to the ten-day Nordic Pleasurelines Luxury Fall Color Cruise that she and Alfred are about to embark on. But even these few remaining joys are threatened by her husband’s growing confusion and unsteadiness. As Alfred enters his final decline, the Lamberts must face the failures, secrets, and long-buried hurts that haunt them as a family if they are to make the corrections that each desperately needs.
