This paper offers various perspectives on Jonathan Franzen's latest book The Corrections, including brief accounts of the high/low-brow ?Oprah controversy? and Franzen's essay on fiction in a market culture, and a detailed examination of domestic neurosis, paranoia and power in the white Midwestern middle class as mirroring a larger malaise and the decline of patriarchy in contemporary America.
