The Other, Other J. Franzen

Remember when we found out Jonathan Franzen was also a DJ who hangs out in Vegas with Jay-Z? Not satisfied by the amount of traction he's lost in the past month or two, the best-selling author seems to have taken another job, signing up for the NHL under the name Johan Franzén. (Changing the pronunciation and going blond... clever.) As a right wing for the Detroit Red Wings, he's apparently not bad. I looked for other evidence, but I couldn't find much about Johan Franzén otherwise without being able to read Swedish, which in itself is suspicious. Not like he's the first player to balance book writing and his sport, although he could be the first NHL player (says the author who has currently exhausted her knowledge of the NHL just to write this post and keeps writing NFL by accident).
