It's a lot like watching television
I picked up this book after reading the author's article (in New Yorker) comparing himself to William Gaddis and insterting himself into the Gaddis, Pynchon, Barth, Delillo tradition. Sorry, but no.The Corrections is not a complete waste of time. The author is competent, but don't look to this novel for a really great literary experience. It's really a lot like watching television.In the author's article in the New Yorker, he references Barth's "Sot-weed Factor" as though it's some complex tome. It's not. You should read it instead of The Corrections.
