The Lehrer/Lehrer Report

About a month ago, WaPo took note of Kate Lehrer's fiction. Today, Aileen Jacobson of Newsday gets in on the act, but with the added development that Lehrer's on a joint book tour with her husband, Jim. The newsanchor/novelist is secure about his wife's latest novel, Confessions of a Bigamist:

"The fact is, I'm just so delighted with what she's done," says Jim Lehrer. "You realize that she's kind of pushed the envelope in a very interesting way. A man bigamist is almost a cliche, a woman bigamist is not," he says. "The heat that I am taking, mostly from friends. ... I can deal with that. With joy."

It's good to see the woman-with-two-spouses theme treated as something other than supernatural farce, that's for sure.
