Tonight we begin our run of THE HUMANS and I, for one, am so looking forward to seeing it on stage. The script reads beautifully but there's something special about watching these characters come alive in front of you. Don't forget our pay what you can matinee this Saturday, March 10 for the 2pm performance. For more information on tickets-click here: https://www.theatrecalgary.com/2017-1...
Let's get into our second discussion of The Corrections. Interestingly, there is an anxiety or restlessness that is present through this story that critics have compared to feelings felt by Americans following the 9/11 attacks. Ironically, The Corrections was released just 10 days before.
What is the significance of Franzen's characters' feelings of insecurity and fear?
The story starts in St. Jude, which was named after the patron saint of desperate cases and lost causes, and is referenced repeatedly. Why do you think the author has chosen to set up the story here?
Since reading a bit more into the novel-has your opinion changed of why the book is called "The Corrections?" Why? Or Why not?
