:::::I think the interest in the husband and children stems from the nature of her writing, which was about gay issues at a time when there were some societal taboos in that area. As a reader, this makes me more curious about the relationship between her writing and her personal life than I would be about a writer working in a different genre (for example, Stephen King writes horror stories and that genre does not make a reader curious about his private life). I'd just like to add one thing: I think this article has attracted criticism simply because it was an article of the day. Articles of the day are usually expected to meet the highest standards. This article does not meet the highest standards, but it is still a reasonable article. So, I hope the editors who have put so much work into this article are not too offended by the criticism.
