GREAT AMERICAN NOVEL
Critics have written impassioned testaments to the wonder and worth of Jonathan Franzen's Midwestern family drama. The Corrections, buoyed by the loving reviews, hits No. 5 this week on the fiction list. Readers flocked to new mysteries from Sara Paretsky and Susan Isaacs, who land respectively at Nos. 9 and 10. In nonfiction, Anne Heche's interview with Barbara Walters helped fuel interest in her life story, Call Me Crazy, which twirls dizzily at No. 9. Rabbi Harold S. Kushner rounds out the list on a more thoughtful note with Living a Life That Matters.
