Having recently finished two books by male writers, I have to say that I am sick of hearing about cock. One writer, Jonathan Franzen, actually said that the male character was going to "fill her with self-worth" when he was going to fuck a female character. Are you kidding me? And these are modern "literary" writers?
The book Freedom by Jonathan Franzen got a lot of attention last year and came highly recommended. I'm agog as to why. The characters are as uninteresting as the lifeless plot. Poorly written and poorly structured. I imagine that the writer fancies himself a combination of the supposedly intellectual and kind-to-a-fault Walter and the sexy rocker Richard. I'm guessing he is more of a cross between Rain Man and and a guy who has spent most of his adult life trying to prove that he is not the dork everyone in high school thought he was.
