I think the real problem that Shriver is having is that her publishers are unable to think past the genre gravy-train. Game Control obviously sold fairly well if it's being repackaged and reissued 3 years after publication, and a publisher who can't think of a way of selling it without a misleading attempt to label it as chick-lit needs to hire some new staff.
