The most famous book by American author Jonathan Franzen is The Corrections (2001), a sprawling novel that focuses on a family of five whose members endure unsuccessful marriages, strained familial relationships, and failed careers. It received widespread critical acclaim and won the 2001 National Book Award for fiction. The novel was also the center of a dispute between talk-show host Oprah Winfrey, who chose it for her book club, and Franzen, who publicly dismissed her previous selections as unsophisticated.
