Query: Franzen Fools the Critics

Corrections is an arrogant attempt by Jonathan Franzen to impress his elite literary friends. Franzen's book was a tremendous disappointment. The characters are unsympathetic. There is no plot. Clearly the critics were fooled because of Franzen's clever command of language. The book appears to be a vehicle by which Franzen can distance himself from his upper middle class midwestern roots and align himself with the literary crowd in New York. The author has foisted on the public a dark series of contrived vignettes that are being passed off as a novel worthy of reading. Don't waste your money or your time.
