Meadow and Carrie have everything in common--except their views on sex, power, movie-making, and morality. Their friendship is complicated, but their devotion to each other trumps their wildly different approaches to film and to life. Meadow was always the more idealistic and brainy of the two; Carrie was more pragmatic. Into their lives comes Jelly, a master of seduction who calls powerful men and seduces them not with sex, but by being a superior listener. All of these women grapple with the question of how to be good: a good lover, a good friend, a good mother, a good artist. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA startlingly acute observer of the way we live now, Dana Spiotta \"has created a new kind of great American novel\" (\u003ci\u003eThe\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eNew York Times Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e). \"Impossible to put down\" (\u003ci\u003eMarie Claire\u003c\/i\u003e), \u003ci\u003eInnocents and Others\u003c\/i\u003e is \"a sexy, painfully insightful, and strangely redemptive novel about the ways we misread one another--with an ending that comes at you like a truck around a blind curve and stays with you for much, much longer\" (\u003ci\u003eEsquire\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDana Spiotta is the author of \u003ci\u003eInnocents and Others\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eStone Arabia\u003c\/i\u003e, A National Books Critics Circle Award finalist; and \u003ci\u003eEat the Document\u003c\/i\u003e, a finalist for the National Book Award.
