I guess the whole Padma Lakshmi thing just obliterated that two of the most famous writers ever were married. Wow. I haven't read John Dollar, but your description and The Shadow Catcher make it sound worthwhile. Did you know that Emma Thompson married the guy who played Willoughby in Ang Lee's Sense and Sensibility? I DIDN’T KNOW THAT!

It's an Atwood-esque take on Lord of the Flies, and it's very good. The hardcover release (1989) was, unfortunately, overshadowed by the fatwah imposed upon Salman Rushdie and The Satanic Verses (Atwood, I'm sure you know, was married to Rushie at the time). At the time, John Dollar was pitched by its publisher as the more impressive literary novel. Have you read Wiggins’ John Dollar? It’s an Atwood-esque take on Lord of the Flies, and it’s very good.
