Franzen = one of the best writers out there today
I don’t think I’ve ever done this before on the blog, but rather than write up commentary and reactions, I’m simply going to link to Jonathan Franzen’s NYTimes piece on how technology is the opposite of/enemy of/destroyer of love. It’s atom bomb level power and, at this time, I feel comfortable saying the piece speaks for itself.
God, I love Franzen. Just a couple weeks ago he destroyed me with his New Yorker feature on seeking isolation on an island ala Robinson Crusoe, with moving insights about his late friend, and hero of mine, David Foster Wallace.
