Who is Nan Potter from Welcome to the Monkey House and what is their importance?

Nan is David's wife. She just gave birth to twins. She is the voice of reason in the midst of the frenzy of the Works and of David's panic. Nan convinces David to at least wait to sell his paper until he has been at the Works long enough to be sure. David brushes aside her doubts, but ultimately, her voice seems to stay with him, as he clearly agrees with her in the end. Nan shows a deep love for her husband by identifying what makes him happy and fighting for him to keep it in his life, even in the face of financial struggle.
