If something is needed to jumpstart the economy, why don’t producers stick out their necks and reduce prices a little more to entice spending? Insisting consumers dig deeper into their savings is not exactly fair—not at a time of rising unemployment and uncertain futures. Not only is it unfair, it’s also just plain unlikely.

Already the ground is too hard to dig graves. Instead, the bodies of those killed by starvation, dehydration, disease or exposure are covered with earth and weighed down with stones against dust storms. During the summer, Abdul Jabbar sold for food all his family's clothes that weren't rags. Now his children can't sleep because of the cold, unless, like his wife beside him, they faint from hunger.

On its release, the jacket art of The Corrections--a clean-cut family sitting at a holiday table laden with turkey, cranberry-jelly slices and radish rosettes--seemed like a Lynchian dig at Norman Rockwell Americana. Today the image just seems, well, nice. And before Sept. 11 a literate reader would most likely have identified with the novel's neurotic, sophisticated grown children. Today it's hard for even the most jaded not to feel more like Enid, hoping against hope...
