This book is still in the original publisher's shrinkwrap. It is an Easton Press Limited edition signed by the author.The Corrections is an epic look at contemporary American life. It is a compelling book to read but it is not always pleasant. The novel was first published in 2001 and it won the National Book Award for that year. Oprah wanted to make this novel part of her bookclub along with a long interview with the author. However Franzen expressed his dissatisfaction with the Oprah insignia being printed on his book by saying, "I see this as my book, my creation, and I didn't want that logo of corporate ownership on it." Soon afterward, Franzen's invitation to appear on Oprah's show was rescinded. This is a serious and very enjoyable novel.
