I'm tired about hearing about other people's wives.
Astronauts' Wife. Time Traveler's Wife. Zookeepers Wife. Blah.
Fuck those people. Tell me about the Zookeeper, don't force me to ask their bored wife for information.
In the interest of full disclosure, I have not read any of these novels. I'm just putting them in the same category as those stupid books written about paintings that were so fucking popular 10 years ago. Reply

@NerD!!! - R.O.A.C.H.: The trend is broader than that. Browse a bookstore sometime and you'll be surprised how many titles follow the formula "The [Occupation's] [Daughter, Wife, Other Female Role]." I'm sure there's a feminist critique to be made of this, but mostly I find it annoyingly trite.

@JRD_2: well, it certainly conforms to the expected female archtype in a patriarcal society of defing women by the most important men in thier lives.

@Dr Emilio Lizardo: Maybe I'll write a story about her.
