John Cheever's Daughter: Susan

It appears that the famous, infamous and family members of writers are newsworthy authors in this week's New York Times Book Review. A focus or a fluke?

Susan Cheever, the daughter of John Cheever, writes some out of the closet and highly provocative books, the latest of which is "Desire: Where Sex Meets Addiction."

I ask myself, if her father hadn't been a Pulitzer Prize winning author would we find it interesting to read about her sexual proclivities or those she's shared about her father?

Food for thought or just gossip?
