  • peaCE. are u sure? hahahahahaaa

  • great speech.

  • David Foster Wallace is Kurt Cobain. Jonathan Franzen is Dave Grohl. Stephanie Meyer is Krist Novoselic. 

  • franzen aint no dfw.

  • Delicious. 

  • There's this strange hostility during the Q&A. It's partially Franzen's boisterous pretentiousness and partially Lahiri's stoic nature. Really telling of these authors.
