you might be stunned that I still don't get it
more like disappointed that, in 2016 when black people are still asking if it's permissible to live, this is your response to me. @IChotiner
please explain what you meant
Hmm. So, your second question to Franzen is if he's ever considered writing about race, right? @IChotiner
Yet (these days) Franzen essentially write about whiteness -- that IS writing about race. Why do you fail to see that? @IChotiner
You don't say "You do write about white people; that's writing about race." You ask about not falling in love with a black woman. @IChotiner
People of color aren't the only ones that have race. White people, whiteness, that's race. They even made it up :) @IChotiner
Then again, Franzen HAS written about people of color. And it's horrifying -- full of stereotypes and skin color fixation. @IChotiner
nailed it
