Review of The Corrections

In my view, I never expected that a twenty-first century writer would have possessed such a great talent for characterisations and meditations on life. Writing had become more about the language, the theme and the idea of the world rather than the shameful emotional impulses of its characters. What differentiates this novel from its ancestral roots in Tolstoy, Mann and Dostoevsky, is the fact that its greatness doesn’t lie in its length, dimension or scale but the inner workings of the characters’ psychological mechanism. The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen pictures a small time period in their lives with flashes of memory similar to a collage, appreciating non-linearity over linearity of time and space which the characters inhabit.

Freedom by Jonathan Franzen

Freedom is a novel published in the year 2010 by American novelist Jonathan Franzen. Freedom is an extremely progressive, innovative and contemplative novel which meditates upon the notion of liberty and the harmful nature of it, the struggles that liberty entails, and non-redemptive decisions hewn out of free will which lead human beings to both destroy themselves and their surroundings. It has a feel-and-texture of classic dystopian novels except that this is a modern realist family novel with uncountable sexual jokes and dark humour that typical Franzen fans will gush over. https://bit.ly/2z9x00V
