On Behind the Franzenfreude
Ah, tripco, that's a lot of negative abstractions without a lot of content. Perhaps this is just the received wisdom of the academy, but generally giving specifics makes for a better argument.
Which assumptions are fatuous and how are they fatuous? Precisely which ideology is the author a prisoner of and how do you know? (Also, how do you know she's "actually writing about his book"?) What precisely is brave about Franzen and his book? It's nice that you think you're right, but if you're going to bring it up in public, you should probably be able to prove it--especially if you're going to accuse other people of laziness.
