Becca Jane Approximately
When your mother sends back your invitations
And your father to your sister he explains
That you're tired of yourself and all your creations
Won't you come and see me, Queen Jane?

John Updike Week: Day 4, Meg Wolitzer
I know, WTF? Meg Wolitzer! She’s not even a guy! Whatever, she wrote a book about being the wife (and maybe more…spoilers…) to an Updike-esque literary lion called The Wife:
“By the time I was in college, I was desperate to have a big effect, to tower over people, to loom, which seemed a completely unlikely possibility in the occasional moments when I saw what I’d become: a slender, hygenic Smith girl who didn’t know much about anything, and had no idea of how to learn.”
