What Our Divided Nation Needs Is a Jonathan Franzen Novel About Race
From a Slate interview with Jonathan Franzen, America’s most indubitably Franzenish novelist:
Slate: Have you ever considered writing a book about race?
Jonathan Franzen: I have thought about it, but—this is an embarrassing confession—I don’t have very many black friends. I have never been in love with a black woman. I feel like if I had, I might dare.
You should definitely do it anyhow Jonathan Franzen.
