Another is my latest read: The Wednesday Sisters by Meg Waite Clayton. I wan't hooked until page 16 which usually disconcerts me (I like to be sucked in on page 1) but after that I didn't put it down. It's set in the 60's/70's and about writer/mothers, an additional draw. Thank you for your suggestions. I can't wait to get started. :) I have two wonderful suggestions: Starting out in the Evening

Highly fun, and highly recommended. Roberto Bolano's The Savage Detectives revolved around a roving band of poet revolutionaries, although no novelists in sight. Richard Russo's Straight Man deals with college town life, writing, and teaching. All My Friends are Going to be Strangers, Larry Larry McMurtry's first (I think) novel, is about a young writer who achieves some early publishing success. How about Michael Chabon’s Wonder Boys?
