Based on this blurb about Niffenegger, which appears in The Time Traveler's Wife, perhaps you can understand why she might be more interested in format and visual aesthetics than literary content:

Audrey Niffenegger is a visual artist and a professor in the Interdisciplinary Book Arts MFA Program at the Columbia College Chicago Center for Book and Paper Arts, where she teaches writing, letterpress printing, and fine edition book production. She shows her artwork at Printworks Gallery in Chicago. The Time Traveler’s Wife is her first novel.
