Abstract: The Art of Characterization in Franzen’s The Corrections Y.Venkata Rao Dr.I.Vijayababu Lecturer in English Principal SVLNS Govt.Degree College DR.V.S.Krishna Govt.Degree Bheemunipatnam and PG College(A). Visakhapatnam. Visakhapatnam. Abstract: Jonathan Franzen, born in 1959, is a celebrated American novelist and essayist known for his exploration of intricate family dynamics, societal critiques, and the complexities of modern life. His literary journey began with the publication of "Twenty-Seventh City" in 1988, a satirical thriller delving into family and political turmoil in St. Louis. Subsequent works like "Strong Motion" (1992), "The Corrections" (2001), and "Freedom" (2010) earned him accolades and prizes, with "The Corrections" receiving widespread acclaim for its portrayal of the Lambert family's struggles. Franzen's writing extends beyond storytelling; it seeks to uncover the intricate web of connections that shape life. His narratives prompt readers to contemplate their own familial and societal relationships. His works delve into family issues, realism, fame, political and economic concerns, feminism, and the challenges facing America. A recurring theme in Franzen's novels is the contrast between physical and digital connections. While modern technology can isolate his characters, it is through physical interactions that they find true connections and redemption. Franzen's work has been associated with post-postmodernism, a literary movement seeking to move beyond postmodernism's extensive irony and self-reflection. Franzen contributes to this movement through his exploration of identity, his examination of modern culture, and his use of narrative techniques that transcend traditional postmodernism. Franzen's commitment to this literary trend is evident in his exploration of various levels of subjectivity. Characters in his works navigate self-realization processes, often facing uncertainty, dispersion, and scepticism. His characters explore diverse paths of selfhood and alternative ideologies to shield themselves from self-deception, self-sacrifice, or self-doubt induced by social, cultural, and economic forces. Franzen's novels serve as mirrors reflecting our own struggles and triumphs, fostering meaningful discussions about the intricacies of the human condition and the complexities of the modern world.
