Congratulations to my cousin
My cousin Allegra has a good review in the New York Times and the International Herald Tribune for her latest Book!
Intuition is about "the relationships between a group of scientists working at a research lab. This institute, a thinly disguised version of the Whitehead in Cambridge, Mass, harbors people working in pursuit of grant dollars, the big discovery, fame, support, or enough money to pay for music seminars. Goodman convincingly illustrates life among the scientists, their post-docs and lab techs, plus their families. " (from the first review on Amazon.com)
Congratulations!

Is it a fiction, or is it partly biographical?
It is no secret that the author lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts (it's hard to spell but I hope I got it right) "is intimately familiar with both the physical setting ... and the scientific milieu of Intuition." (Geraldine Brooks)
It is therefore clearly fiction inspired by real-life characters who are close to the author.
I hope it answers your question!
Thanks! I'm always curious to know those kinds of details...
