«Les Corrections» is the contemporary fiction novel by Jonathan Franzen, published by Seuil in paperback (693 pages, in French).
The Lambert family appears normal, but hides unconfessable desires. Enid, Alfred and their children Gary, Chip and Denise try to make sense of their contradictions, between the weight of the past, ambitions and the longing for freedom. Franzen builds a satire of contemporary America with a family that loves, tears itself apart and seeks happiness.
Work originally published as «The Corrections»; this French edition includes the translation by Rémy Lambrechts and belongs to the Points collection. Winner of the National Book Award.
For readers of contemporary fiction and book clubs interested in social criticism and family conflicts.
