If all your work is about whites and animals, you're already writing about race. Stunning that neither Franzen nor @IChotiner get that.

more like disappointed that, in 2016 when black people are still asking if it's permissible to live, this is your response to me.

Hmm. So, your second question to Franzen is if he's ever considered writing about race, right?

Yet (these days) Franzen essentially write about whiteness -- that IS writing about race. Why do you fail to see that?

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.

People of color aren't the only ones that have race. White people, whiteness, that's race. They even made it up :)

White people made up race. Pulled it out of thin air to create an unjustified system of hierarchy where they're always on top.

From Eliot and Mather's Bay Psalm Book to Franzen's Purity, American Literature is and always has been about race. It's the American genre.
