  • I'll be honest. I'm listening to interviews of this guy, and he doesn't seem like the pretentious dickhead some paint him to be.

  • he reminds me of a very smart, flummoxed turtle

  • All these people hating on Franzen. I dont think too many of you guys realize he is one of the few great American authors alive. I mean every author is like Stephanie Meyer. Franzen writes about real life and is smart and charming and knows what the fuck he's talking about. Give him a fucking break.

  • After years of studying psychiatry, it is my professional opinion that Mr Franzen has developed a serious case of vaginitis.

  • God I hated Freedom, especially that elitist prick Walter. If he was such a believer in the notion that regulating population growth would somehow 'save the earth' (although I don't know who for, since, according to him, birth should be banned and virtually no one would inherit the earth except for elitist liberal dickheads and dolphins), why the fuck didn't he kill himself and set a clear example. I'd advise Franzen to do the same thing and rid us of his stupidity.

  • @bigrobdeezey Read Freedom, he is a pretentious dickhead.

  • Sure hope this guy doesn't try to publish his personality because it won't sell, yawn!

  • i just realized that the pattern of his speech is similar to the Joker in the Dark Knight, the semi stammering quavering voice is pure Joker

  • @helliop LOL thats fucking funny LOL LOL

  • i think he likes the interviewer because he keeps referencing them.

  • "the unseen interviewer has asked me" 4:39. That made me giggle
