...writing fiction were an Olympic track event, Jodi Picoult would be a gold medalist. At 42, Picoult has published 16 books and has become one of the world's best-selling novelists. Often described as a writer who straddles the line between literary and commercial fiction, she is known for her artful family dramas that play on hot-button, ripped-from-the-headlines themes, such as spousal abuse and euthanasia. Her latest novel, Handle With Care, centers on the family of Willow O'Keefe, a smart, beautiful little girl with brittle bone disease. TIME senior reporter Andrea Sachs reached Picoult...

(These days, art is probably a better investment than stocks, and at least it looks good on your wall.) Armory Show is the main event, featuring 243 galleries at Piers 92 and 94. If that seems too overwhelming, there are smaller venues, like Volta, an invitation-only showcase for galleries like Swiss dealer Haas & Fischer, with sculpture including Joshua Callaghan's "The 100 Year Anniversary Commemorative Model-T Ford," and London's Rokeby Gallery, with video artist...
