My second marriage in fact ended exactly the way the one in Heartburn does, shortly after I discovered that my husband was having an affair with an unbelievably tall person. Let's face it, Philip Roth and John Updike picked away at the carcasses of their early marriages in book after book, but to the best of my knowledge they were never hit with the "thinly disguised" thing.īut as I was saying, I have no real quarrel with this description. I have no real quarrel with this description, even though I've noticed, over the years, that the words "thinly disguised" are applied mostly to books written by women.
It's been nearly 25 years since my second marriage ended, and 22 since I finished writing Heartburn, which is often referred to as a thinly disguised novel.
