Franzen, Jonathan.
THE CORRECTIONS.
New York City, NY: Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 2001. Hardcover. First Edition/First Printing. 568 pages. As New/As New. The author's breakthrough third novel. Indisputably the most spectacular literary event of the year 2001. Published to enormous critical and popular acclaim. The true first. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. It took Franzen ten years to write the book, during which time he was largely silent, which in America normally means the end of one's career. "Jonathan Franzen's novel is the brightest, boldest, and most ambitious novel I've read in many years. With this dazzling work, Franzen gives notice that from now on, he is only going to hunt with the big cats" (Pat Conroy). This is a copy of the true First Edition, with the erratum slip included, which states that "we have discovered that the text on pages 430 and 431 was reversed in this printing. Page 431 should be read before page 430. We apologize for this error". This uncorrected First Edition promptly disappeared, but the book went into multiple subsequent printings. This is one of few copies still available online and has no flaws, a pristine beauty. A scarce copy thus. Winner of the National Book Award in 2001 for "The Corrections". Selected by The New Yorker Magazine as one of "Twenty Writers for the 21st Century". One of the finest American writers of the 21st century. A flawless copy.
