Freedom ain't free!

Jonathan Franzen and JPMorgan Chase's "Sapphire" in the September issue of Vogue:


The best bit:

Romance might seem like an odd—even dangerous—word for a male author to use with regard to his female protagonist. But writing full-blooded women of complexity and fallibility has never been a problem for the 51-year-old author, whose deliberate manner, salt-and-pepper hair, and classic tortoiseshell glasses belie a certain essential boyishness.

This is what is so lovable about Vogue: you'll never catch 'em straying too far from their basic duty -- to find the romance in a subject's looks.
