The Corrections : A Novel by Franzen, Jonathan - 2001

New York, NY, U.S.A.: Farrar, Straus & Giroux, LLC, 2001. In a clear protective Brodart Cover. Winner of the coveted National Book Award, inundated by the the publicity surrounding the selection by Oprah Winfrey's book club, and hailed as a breakthrough novel, this is the true first edition of this amazing novel with the erratum slip, which states "We have discovered that the text on pages 430 and 431 of THE CORRECTIONS was reversed in this printing, i.e., page 431 should be read before page 430 . We apologize for this error." Selected as one of the 20 best young American novelists by Granta magazine, Jonathan Franzen delivers a tour-de-force in this sharp and tragic novel that took him a decade to write. He explores the Lamberts, a dysfunctional Midwestern family on the verge of self-destruction as they gather together for a Christmas meal that may very well be their last as a family. This has since gone into multiple printings, though a corrected first printing without the erratum slip does exist. A highly regarded and collectible book that also has been mentioned numerous times as a possible nominee for the Pulitzer Prize. Creasing to about thirty pages and to edges of text block.. Boldly SIGNED By Author on the Title Page. True First Edition, First Printing.. Hardcover. Very Good/Fine.
