Title: Concept fiction is good, but take this author's agenda away!
Review: Olivia Goldsmith did a great job with _First Wives Club_, and her "concept" fiction -- that is, stuff built up around Hollywood (_Flavor of the Month_), fashion (_Fashionably Late_), or publishing (_The Bestseller_) -- was even better.But the problem is that when she attempts to construct a story without a theme, it ends up with a theme.Repeat after me: "Men are bad. Men are evil. Men are pigs."I'm as feminist as the next woman, but come freaking on. I can only tolerate so much drivel personifying Evil Comes In The Y Chromosome.It's really sad, because her earlier fiction is great. This stuff is pathetic.
