Jonathan Franzen and Lorrie Moore at the 92nd Street Y on Monday November 15th.

When President Obama was vacationing at Martha's Vineyard, a bookstore gave him Franzen's new book "Freedom."

I've long had an unrequited - obviously - literary crush on Moore, like the bird (of America) in this video has on Pete Yorn although the genders are switched about.
