Franzen is “sad” about Oprah ending her show
Jonathan Franzen, author of The Corrections, famously refused to allow his book to be part of Oprah’s book club in 2001. Oprah announced yesterday that she will end her talk show in 2011, after 25 years on air. Franzen told The Daily Beast:
Oprah’s show is the last place on the networks where serious books still sometimes get a hearing, so it’s sad to learn of her impending retreat to cable.
