Notes

Niffenegger has mentioned that some of the authors who influenced her hit best-seller The Time Traveler's Wife were "Richard Powers, David Foster Wallace, Henry James, and Dorothy Sayers."

With regards to Niffenegger's second novel, Her Fearful Symmetry, she credited the author, Henry James, for inspiration. "The essential plot of the novel is a Henry James plot, the young Americans come to the Old Country and the natives mess with them," she laughs. "A lot of what I was thinking about was about couples coming unglued, couples coming together . . . the struggle for togetherness or individuality."
