The Interestings
By Meg Wolitzer
480 pages;
Riverhead
2013
In Meg Wolitzer's lovely, wise
The Interestings, Julie Jacobson begins the summer of '74 as an outsider at arts camp until she is accepted into a clique of teenagers with whom she forms a lifelong bond. Through well-tuned drama and compassionate humor, Wolitzer chronicles the living organism that is friendship, and arcs it over the course of more than 30 years.
