From best-selling publisher Meg Wolitzer a stunning, panoramic novel in what becomes of early expertise, and the roles that skill, money, and even envy can play in close friendships. The summertime that Nixon resigns, six young adults at a summertime camp for the arts become inseparable. Decades later the connection remains powerful, but very much else has changed. In The Interestings, Wolitzer practices these personas from the level of junior through middle age, as their talents, fortunes, and degrees of satisfaction diverge. The type of creativeness that is compensated at age 15 is not always enough to propel someone through life at age 30; not everyone can maintain, in adulthood, what seemed so special in adolescence. Jules Jacobson, an aspiring comic actress, eventually resigns herself to a more practical profession and lifestyle. Her good friend Jonah, a gifted musician, prevents playing the guitar and becomes an engineer. But Ethan and Ash, Jules's now-married close friends, become shockingly successful - true to their initial creative dreams, with the wealth and gain access to that allow those dreams to keep extending. The friendships experience and even prosper, but also underscore the dissimilarities in their fates, in what their talents have grown to be and the patterns their lives have taken. Wide in opportunity, ambitious, and populated by complex personas who get together and aside in a changing New York City, The Interestings explores this is of talent; the type of envy; the roles of class, skill, money, and electric power; and how all of it can shift and tilt precipitously over the course of a a friendly relationship and a life.
