1. New genre: split-up lit: novels/stories growing out of divorce/separation. Waugh's Handful of Dust, Roth's My Life As a Man....
2. Alice Munro's Who Do You Think You Are, Updike's Marry Me, Roth's I Married A Communist. Just off the top of my head.

3. Danger of Split-Up lit is that can be self-serving, vindictive, blinkered. Certainly true of Roth.

4. Objectively speaking, Handful of Dust is a pretty self-serving account of Waugh's divorce (wife is completely self-centered, vapid)
