“Even in an intensely mediated world, in a world that offers at least the illusion of radical self-invention and radical freedom of choice, I as a novelist am drawn to the things you can't get away from. Because much of the promise of radical self-invention, of defining yourself through this marvelous freedom of choice, it's just a lie. It's a lie that we all buy into, because it helps the economy run.” WorldSelfHelpingRunningLyingChoicesEconomyPromiseOffersIllusionInventionRadicalNovelistsGet AwayMarvelousDefiningFreedom Of ChoiceDefine Yourself Author:Jonathan Franzen
