Her mother, Joanne Simpson, is widely assumed to be a prototype for Adele August, the exuberantly selfish mother in Anywhere But Here ; her brother, Apple Computer's Steve Jobs, is similarly thought to be a prototype for Tom Owens, the biotech mogul in her last novel, A Regular Guy . (To read an ambivalent Harvard Advocate article by Simpson's niece, Lisa Brennan-Jobs, about her own story's being appropriated in the latter work, click here.)
Ann and Adele, products of the claustrophobic 1950s, fought and clung to each other and never found their man.
Here is how, in the novel, Adele August describes to her teen-age daughter Ann her first date with Dr. Spritzer (the scene in the movie is nearly identical):
A few chapters after that, Adele is taking Ann on rides past Dr. Spritzer's apartment and saying things like "I'd like to tell his psychiatrist a thing or two."
Although Dr. Spritzer's reluctance to get enmeshed in Adele August's life is presented in both book and movie as entirely rational, given Adele's extreme neediness, both emotional and financial--Ann can't wait to be old enough to leave home--there is also the sense, in both the book and the movie, that Dr. Spritzer is a little bit of a jerk.
