minute 26. I mean DeLillo probably just didn't understand the question but I have no idea why he said beaner.

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?"
Man Franzen gets a lot of shit on here. Can't speak for his earlier works but Purity was a good book.
>b**ner
I had no idea Franzen was Hispanic
Maybe that's his entry point for writing that novel about race
Ask him how he coped with survivor's guilt so deftly.
Was the anthropomorphic piece of shit in The Corrections based on Oprah?
Franzen sounds so smug.
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.
he's one level up from michael chabon

No one even knows who that is.
