Marian Rivas’s Reviews > The Corrections > Status Update

The Corrections is a complex family novel that explores the lives of the Lamberts, a Midwestern family whose members are all, in their own ways, trying to "correct" their lives as they converge for one last Christmas. Through a sharp and often cynical lens, Jonathan Franzen dissects the friction between traditional values and the anxieties of contemporary life, capturing the inevitable decay of the American Dream.
