I enjoyed how the dumped Pulitzer Prize hubby blames Christian rapists for losing his wife. And still manages to pat himself on the back for her gratitude of his love and compassion in reminding everybody how she was molested as a child. Billionaires are fun!

Whats a Christian Rapist?

The white-haired mogul also took Dewberry as his date to the May premiere of "Georgia Rule,"

I think I found a pic of this.

What psychobabble. He’s a billionaire...or was. She is attracted to the dough. Bee to honey.

Sad story. Elizabeth Dewberry seems to be a person of low self esteem, and will be ever lower when Turner tires of her.

"HIS LOVELY WIFE is my fourth novel, the second one written since I married Robert Olen Butler in 1995. He's much more well-known than I am, and often, especially in the early years of our marriage, we were introduced as, "Pulitzer-prize-winning author, Robert Olen Butler," now a slight pause, and the volume goes down a notch, then, "and his lovely wife, Elizabeth Dewberry." In the beginning I sort of liked it--my first husband was unemployed for the last five years of our marriage, and I was never introduced as his lovely wife--but after a while, I started feeling irritated by it. I hated that I found myself wanting to tell complete strangers whom I'd just met that I, too, was an author, but I felt like I was disappearing. HIS LOVELY WIFE is not autobiographical--I know, all writers say that, and half of them are lying, though in this case, it's true!--but it was easy to find the empathic connection with my narrator, who feels that at least in other people's minds and to a certain extent in her own mind, as well, she feels defined by who she's married to more than by who she is. I'm lucky, though, to have been able to use this experience to take my next step as a writer, which, ironically, means that it helped me figure out something about who I am.

I'm not sure why anybody would want to know this, but it's standard biographical information, and I'm not trying to be difficult, so: I was born in Birmingham, Alabama, received a BS in English from Vanderbilt, and a PhD in twentieth-century American fiction, with a dissertation on Hemingway, from Emory. I've published four novels (or did I mention that already?), and my work has appeared in ZOETROPE: ALL-STORY, SOUTHERN LIVING, THE CAMBRIDGE COMPANION TO HEMINGWAY, and MY NEW ORLEANS, among other places. I live outside Tallahassee, Florida.

"She will not be Ted's only girlfriend. Ted is permanently and avowedly non-monogamous," Butler writes. "But though he has several girlfriends, it is a very small number, and he does not take them up lightly and he gives them his absolute support when he does."

If this is the way he takes it when he loses his wife to a philanderer, it makes it harder to blame her for leaving him. Whatta wimp.
