Query: A Fine Novel, But Not A Literary Masterpiece

Jonathan Franzen's "The Corrections" is undoubtedly the finest depiction of a dysfunctional family I've come across in fiction. He is a splendid writer with a keen sense of imagination and excellent literary style, and he has wrought a marvellous achievement bringing the Lambert family to life. However, I found too many of the family's problems seem a bit too contrived, most notably, the strange odyssey which Chip Lambert undertakes from academia to new-style Russian organized crime in Lithuania. I agree with a previous reviewer that Franzen should have chosen another part of the former Soviet Union, not Lithuania; surely the Central Asian republics or Georgia might have been more ideal locales. Still I must commend Franzen for his enthusiastic, often satirical look, at contemporary society. However, I strongly doubt that "The Corrections" is the literary masterpiece of our time; it is clearly an accolade that veers too closely to hyperbole.
