[Joyce Carol] Oates mentions the possibility of including an appendix in subsequent editions of "A Widow's Story," to "remedy" complaints. I, however, agree with her editor, Daniel Halpern, who vehemently dissents. As Halpern told the New York Times: "She wrote a book about what it's like to be in limbo--about what it was like to lose the man she had been married to all her life. Why include the next husband? That's not what the book is about."Exactly.
from David L. Ulin: Los Angeles Times: Should Joyce Carol Oates have revealed her second marriage?
