The Corrections

Solid Geometry TV Short A newly married couple try to build their social life. Edit Cast Credited cast: Greta Gerwig Ewan McGregor Young Chip Maggie Gyllenhaal Denise Rhys Ifans Dianne Wiest Registration Lady Daisy Tahan Young Denise Frank Deal Science Fair Principal Bruce Norris Cab driver Adam Chanler-Berat Edit Storyline Three generations of a dysfunctional Midwestern family meet at the family home for what will be the last Christmas gathering there. Edit Did You Know? Trivia HBO comissioned this television pilot based on the popular book.

Although this might seem rather straightforward it's definitely been the premise of a movie or two , Franzen takes readers on so many twists and turns that instead, at times, it's dizzying. Though anchored by relatable characters, the terrain this book traverses is often anything but familiar, whether we're talking about the newly created business-state of Lithuania Inc.

But this is what makes The Corrections so readable.

by Jonathan Franzen

It's half knee-slapping satire , half emotional family drama, and all together, it's a completely one-of-a-kind book. We're going to blow the lid off the biggest secret of the adult world, so listen up: See, adults like to pretend that they have everything together, but the list of people who actually do is pretty short. Trust us when we say that the halls of a high school have nothing on the busy streets of a city.

That guy over there? He's playing the role of the businessman but is really just a scared kid inside. She's fronting the part of a happy wife but secretly wishing she were with someone else. Well, he just wants to be a cat.

The Early Years

As usual, Shakespeare says it best: The whole world is a stage, and we are just players. While The Corrections tackles many different subjects, the core of the book is all about insecurity—the little lies we tell ourselves to make ourselves feel better, to fit in with our peers, or to achieve our personal goals.

The Results!!!

But here's the thing: The Corrections shows some of the consequences of this and might even help you feel more comfortable in your own skin.
