Synopsis "Las Correcciones/ The Corrections (in Spanish)"

Con esta historia inmisericorde de una típica familia norteamericana, Jonathan Franzen obtuvo el National Book Award y el Premio James Tait Black Memorial, y fue finalista de los premios Pulitzer y Pen/Faulkner. De este meticuloso retrato de los Lambert emergen de forma brillante y profundamente humana las angustias y contradicciones de toda una sociedad, la norteamericana, y de una época, la última década del siglo XX. Alfred Lambert es un ingeniero de ferrocarril jubilado cuya percepción de la realidad empieza a resquebrajarse a causa de la enfermedad de Parkinson. Su esposa Enid, tras cincuenta años de matrimonio, sigue obsesionada con mantener el orden en su enorme casa de un próspero barrio residencial. Los tres hijos se establecieron en la costa Este años atrás, lejos del hogar familiar. El mayor, Gary, es un alto ejecutivo bancario, un modélico padre de familia acosado por el fantasma de la depresión. Chip, el segundo, tras su fracaso en el mundo académico, se ha enfrascado en un nuevo proyecto de dudosa legalidad. Y Denise, la menor, extremadamente competitiva, triunfa como chef de un restaurante de moda, pero sufre los reveses de una vida sentimental inestable. En el país, la realidad económica corrige las expectativas sobrevaloradas del mercado bursátil, mientras los medicamentos más avanzados corrigen los trastornos del ánimo. Pero, en el ámbito de la familia, pueden los hijos corregir los errores de sus padres? Y en un orden de cosas más concreto, logrará Enid reunir a todos sus hijos para pasar una última Navidad juntos? La crítica ha dicho...«A la vez divertida y desoladora, indulgente y despiadada, Las correcciones es testimonio del alcance y la profundidad de los placeres que proporciona la ficción excepcional. -David Foster Wallace «Jonathan Franzen ha construido una imponente novela a partir de la incontenible conciencia de un matrimonio, de una familia, de una cultura entera. -Don DeLillo «Tan sagaz como las novelas de los escritores posmodernos más inteligentes [...] pero infinitamente más accesible [...] Franzen deslumbra al lector con personajes conmovedoramente humanos. -The NYT Magazine DESCRIPTION IN ENGLISH Winner of the 2001 National Book Award for FictionAfter almost fifty years as a wife and mother, Enid Lambert is ready to have some fun. Unfortunately, her husband, Alfred, is losing his sanity to Parkinson's disease, and their children have long since flown the family nest to the catastrophes of their own lives. The oldest, Gary, a once-stable portfolio manager and family man, is trying to convince his wife and himself, despite clear signs to the contrary, that he is not clinically depressed. The middle child, Chip, has lost his seemingly secure academic job and is failing spectacularly at his new line of work. And Denise, the youngest, has escaped a disastrous marriage only to pour her youth and beauty down the drain of an affair with a married man-or so her mother fears. Desperate for some pleasure to look forward to, Enid has set her heart on an elusive goal: bringing her family together for one last Christmas at home.

Jonathan Franzen (Western Springs, Illinois, 1959) was chosen in 1996 among the Best Young American Novelists by the prestigious Granta magazine. Until that date, he had written the novels Twenty-Seven City (1988) and Strong Motion (1992), but the explosion of his enormous narrative talent took place in 2001 with the release of The Corrections (Salamandra, 2012), which marked a turning point in his career: he won the National Book Award and the James Tait Black Memorial Prize, was a finalist for the Pulitzer and PEN/Faulkner awards, and was discovered by millions of readers around the world. The definitive endorsement came in 2010 with Freedom (Salamandra, 2011), a novel that received the most fervent praise from a wide array of critics and experts from various countries. In Spain, he won the Best Novel of the Year Award, given by the readers of Qué Leer magazine. Five years later, in the fall of 2015, the publication of Purity once again shocked English-speaking readers and established him as one of the great American writers of our time. Additionally, Franzen is the author of five non-fiction works: How to Be Alone (2002), The Discomfort Zone (2006), Farther Away (Salamandra, 2012), The Kraus Project (2013), and The End of the End of the Earth (Salamandra, 2019).
