Like James Frey, Jonathan Franzen had a colorful public controversy with Oprah and her book club. Given the chance to do it over, would the author of The Corrections handled it differently?

  • Why do people give a fuck about oprah's opinion on books anyway? WHO FUCKING CARES. Who is she to criticize anyone. Fuck oprah.

  • @SeaHorseGypsy Spot on. Fuck Oprah. How did she end up being the authority on anything? Most of the books (not all of them) she recommends are fucking awful.

  • Hope he was taking the piss when he said the world is divided into two camps over Oprah, the vast majority of the world couldn't give a fuck about her, and a large proportion of that majority hasn't heard of her.

  • i like this. He's thinking on the spot, sounds like. But I'm of mixed feelings on Oprah and I think lots of people are.. so he couldn't be more wrong.

  • He should have said no.

  • Sadly, disappointing - like his books.

  • its funny that franzen doesn't want oprah to have anything ot do with the corrections since cormac mcarthy accepted his book on oprahs book club.

  • Apparently he doesn't know what regret means, bully!
