Anybody Remember Jonathan Franzen on The Simpsons?

18th season of The Simpsons, episode title: Moe 'N' a Lisa.


Audience member: Who are your biggest influences?

Michael Chabon: I’d have to say my good friend Jonathan Franzen. I thought his novel The Corrections needed none. 

Jonathan Franzen: Well in turn, I’d have to say my biggest influence is…Albert Camus. 
Chabon: You were supposed to say me! I blurbed you!
Franzen: Yeah, and it looks real sweet on my dust jacket. How do you like me now?

 





Chabon: Oh, you fight like Anne Rice!
