Franzen was also one of the authors asked to create his version of the dollar by the UK newspaper The Guardian. The $6.66 is supposedly the environmental cost of creating a $10 bill. And the bird is a nice hark back to the cerulean warbler in Freedom, which I re-read in December when I was having a fiction reading crisis (I read so many shit books). It holds up so well; there's something about Franzen that just is so honest and insecure and compelling.
