ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

The Interestings by Meg Wolitzer chronicles the lives of a group of teenagers who meet in the summer of 1974 at an arts camp called Spirit-in-the-Woods. Forming a tight-knit group they ironically name "the Interestings," they navigate the complexities of early friendships, artistic ambitions, and self-discovery. The narrative follows these individuals as they grow and their lives diverge, exploring themes of talent, envy, intimacy, and the lasting impact of youthful connections over the course of decades. The story hints at both the joys and the challenges that arise as their initial dreams encounter the realities of adulthood.
