How did they convince Jonathan Franzen to read the Mission of Burma chapter and all its wonky rock journalist descriptions of guitar effects?

Maybe it's me but there are some very unusual pairings in the audio version of Our Band Could Be Your Life. For instance, Corey Taylor's reading of the Black Flag chapter was not what I expected. It's kind of flat and uninspired TBH. Someone should have helped homeboy with the pronunciation. But Jeff Tweedy absolutely nailed The Minutemen chapter. Next up: Jonathan Franzen reading Mission of Burma? Srsly?
