Franzen über Franzen: Seine persönlichsten Erinnerungen. Jonathan Franzen hatte als Junge nicht nur vor Umkleideräumen und Quallen Angst. Zu Hause kam er sich wie Snoopy vor, der zwischen größeren Wesen einer anderen Spezies lebt. Wenigstens unter Gleichaltrigen wollte er dazugehören, also mied er auf einer Fahrt ins christliche Feriencamp den Bus des »sozialen Tods«.
