Correction was well received as soon as it came out, and some even spoke highly of it, saying that it was a long-lost masterpiece of American novels, so he entered the ranks of American literary masters.
Correction is a comedy and sometimes a tragedy, which tells the story of the disintegration of an American family. After nearly 50 years as a wife and mother, the protagonist Enid is ready to enjoy life. Unfortunately, her husband has Parkinson's disease, and his body is confused almost every day. Their children also have their own independent lives. Enid longed for the happiness of life and decided to unite everyone at Christmas. The novel focuses on the suburban life of husband and wife, and this book reproduces American culture in many ways, from the Midwest of the United States in the middle of last century to Wall Street and Eastern Europe now.
The style of this book is lyrical, but the fun it brings is pure. The most powerful part of this book is his narrative relativity, which first gives the real situation of a character, and then turns from reality to something bigger and more complicated, which is more readable than other books. The ending made things clear.
He put1American family life in the late 1990s in an epic background, and grasped the depravity of the digital age. Every well-designed farce represents the correction of various illusions that prompted this farce, and every retreat from the brink of disaster becomes an action leading to hope for respect and love.
