Farther Away: Essays by Jonathan Franzen
2.0
Five minutes in and I'm already overwhelmed by his arrogant self-indulgent navel-gaze-y Franzen-ness. He gave a commencement speech on his own failed first marriage? A COMMENCEMENT speech about the DEATH of HIS OWN LOVE? Oh Franzen.
Updated to add: This guy just drives me insane. So egotistical, so utterly irritating, yet such a good writer who's able to get me to care about anything he chooses to discuss. Birds, China, whatever. Quite a feat, really. I repeat: Oh Franzen.
