Jonathan Franzen (post 4): In video, says he has “twelve different personality modules,” including both sexes, and talks to some of them every day

In this interview on his novel, Purity, he does not relate the above description of multiple personality to multiple personality. He thinks it is ordinary psychology.

This contrasts with the earlier interview cited in my first Franzen post, in which he said that everyone has "multiple personalities" to one extent or another.

I am not quite finished reading Purity, but so far, it does not use the terms "multiple personality" or "split personality," even in a whole section of the novel devoted to the description of a character with multiple personality.
