From Publishers Weekly

Gillies left her recurring role on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit to follow her poet-professor husband to Oberlin, Ohio, when he got a tenure-track position in the English department. She threw herself into caring for her two sons, renovating an old house and teaching drama part-time—but her idyllic life was shattered when her husband decided he didn’t want to be married anymore—or at least, not married to Gillies. (He subsequently wed a fellow professor.) Gillies brings both humor and sorrow to the narration. Despite a tendency to trail off at the end of sentences, which leaves listeners straining to hear the completion of a thought, she gives a brave performance that will have her audience cheering as she pluckily reassembles the pieces of her broken life. A Scribner hardcover (Reviews, Mar. 23). (Mar.)

Jonze went on to direct Adaptation, co-written by Charlie Kaufman and Donald Kaufman. He cowrote and is currently directing Where the Wild Things Are, which is in postproduction and scheduled to release in October 2008. Dave Eggers recently co-wrote, with Spike Jonze, the film adaptation of Where the Wild Things Are.
