Did anyone hate this book......
Jonathan Franzen's The Corrections........
I did.... it was cleverly written, but so reductive in it's portrayal of a PwP, in which the effects of the disease seemed to play a starring role......
He is in the Time magazine now, and hailed for this and his new book as one of the greatest writers........ I just hate the idea of PwP being stereotyped to this. I cannot think of another disease that has been portrayed in this way, and feel that if this had been AD then somebody big like Terry Pratchett may have spoken out.
I am no book burner, and stand for freedom of speech all the way, but wouldn't give this book even to a good friend.......
If I have missed something in this, I'd love to be told what......
