04.10: Meg Wolitzer
2013-03-15 00:36:43| Powells Books Events Calendar
From bestselling author Meg Wolitzer comes a dazzling, panoramic novel about what becomes of early talent, and the roles that art, money, and even envy can play in close friendships. The summer that Nixon resigns, six teenagers at a summer camp for the arts become inseparable. Decades later, the bond remains powerful, but so much else has changed. In The Interestings (Riverhead), Meg Wolitzer follows these characters from the height of youth through middle age, as their talents, fortunes, and degrees of satisfaction diverge. Wide in scope, ambitious, and populated by complex characters who come together and apart in a changing New York City, The Interestings explores the meaning of talent, the nature of envy, the roles of class, art, money, and power, and how all of it can shift and tilt precipitously over the course of a friendship and a life.
