Repost of previous torrent. I'd accidentally labeled this audiobook unabridged. I have no intention of uploading abridged audiobooks. However, since I already put in the effort, I'll keep it here for now. Sorry for any inconvenience.

"Jonathan Franzen's novel The Corrections is the brightest, boldest, and 
most ambitious novel I've read in many years." —Pat Conroy

----

The Corrections is a grandly entertaining novel for the new century—a comic, 
tragic masterpiece about a family breaking down in an age of easy fixes. 
After almost fifty years as a wife and mother, Enid Lambert is ready to have 
some fun. Unfortunately, her husband, Alfred, is losing his sanity to 
Parkinson's disease, and their children have long since flown the family nest 
to the catastrophes of their own lives. The oldest, Gary, a once-stable 
portfolio manager and family man, is trying to convince his wife and himself, 
despite clear signs to the contrary, that he is not clinically depressed. The 
middle child, Chip, has lost his seemingly secure academic job and is failing 
spectacularly at his new line of work. And Denise, the youngest, has escaped 
a disastrous marriage only to pour her youth and beauty down the drain on 
an affair with a married man—or so her mother fears. Desperate for some 
pleasure to look forward to, Enid has set her heart on an elusive goal: 
bringing her family together for one last Christmas at home.

Stretching from the Midwest at midcentury to the Wall Street and Eastern 
Europe of today, The Corrections brings an old-fashioned world of civic virtue 
and sexual inhibitions into violent collision with the era of home surveillance, 
hands-off parenting, do-it-yourself mental health care, and globalized greed. 
Richly realistic, darkly hilarious, deeply humane, it confirms Jonathan Franzen 
as one of our most brilliant interpreters of American society and the American 
soul.
