What wine should you drink while listening to Wagner? What cocktail should you drink standing in front of a Magritte painting? What coffee should you put in your thermos when going out birdwatching?

WTF? posted by kozad at 3:00 PM on April 25

Can someone explain to me why Jonathan Franzen initially pairs The Corrections with Budweiser and seems really pleased with Budweiser and even films a commercial for Budweiser but then has a crazy temper tantrum and retracts his choice and disavows Budweiser and writes 18,000 words for Harper's on the reasons for his disavowal of Budweiser and then retires to his loft to start a second career writing essays about how hard it is to be Jonathan Franzen? posted by dyoneo at 3:42 PM on April 25
