I really wish I'd read it when it had it's cultural moment. I feel like there so much to think/talk about. It's hard reading it now in a post-pandemic world. It's dark as fuck. Overall, I really liked it but I do think it's too long.

Still, I'm always a sucker for middle class American family dysfunction.

what did you think of "The Corrections" ?

I really wish I'd read it when it had it's cultural moment. I feel like there so much to think/talk about. It's hard reading it now in a post-pandemic world. It's dark as fuck. Overall, I really liked it but I do think it's too long.

Still, I'm always a sucker for middle class American family dysfunction.

You should read Crossroads.

Do you mean that?

Yes, it was my favorite Franzen since The Corrections.
