Meg Wolitzer is the author of several acclaimed novels, most recently The Uncoupling ( tingles with playfulness and wicked observation Independent) and The Wife ( has you howling with recognition Allison Pearson), The Position ( one of the best and most human books I ve read all year Erica Wagner) and The Ten-Year Nap ( as incisive and pitiless and clear-eyed a chronicler of female-male tandems as Philip Roth or John Updike' Chicago Tribune). She is married with two sons and lives in New York City.
With a great lightness of touch, Wolitzer's novel satirises American literary circles of the Seventies and Eighties and traces the generation of wives who poured their own creative energies into stoking the fires of their husbands' reputations. Emma Hagestadt, Independent 20041221 Hilarious and touching Erica Wagner, The Times 20041221 The wife was published less than a decade ago, but I say it is already a classic - and I have no idea why it's author remains so less well known than her US compatriots, Alison Lurie and Lorrie Moore.
