Based Big D just had to sneak in a subtle jab at the ridiculous Franzen.

"Has Antarctica always inspired the emotional landscape of your novels?"
"[Hold up Purity] Why not birds, eh?"
"Can you sign my copy of Infinite Jest?"
"A couple words on Ferguson?"
"Can you sign my typo-edition 'Freedom'?
"Why did you, a long, hot fart of a man, decide to translate Karl Kraus?"
Luke Long
Man Franzen gets a lot of shit on here. Can't speak for his earlier works but Purity was a good book.

I had no idea Franzen was Hispanic
Maybe that's his entry point for writing that novel about race
Ayden Green
Ask him how he coped with survivor's guilt so deftly.
Joseph Rivera
Was the anthropomorphic piece of shit in The Corrections based on Oprah?
Ryder Martin
Franzen sounds so smug.
Ethan Wilson
he was brutal. he either had completely canned responses that were not really on-topic or he just couldnt answer at all. he got asked why he had so many angry but sexy female characters and completely sperged out. rubbed his nose for a minute before stammering something inaudibly and saying it was time to take questions from the audience. pathetic.
Samuel Young
he's one level up from michael chabon
