Meet My Dark Master, Emperor Franzen

Posted On DateTuesday, August 31 By AuthorAndrew Shaffer

This is Emperor Franzen. He hails from the Dark Side of Oprah's Couch and wears a cloak. That he made himself. From a sheet.

You may remember him from his TIME magazine cover last week, or one of the bazillion mentions that he receives in the New York Times on a daily basis.

Emperor Franzen is currently fighting a rebel alliance of women's fiction authors, including Jennifer Weiner (read about their battle here).

You can follow him on Twitter at @emperorfranzen.
