Given n general points p1, p2,..., pn in Pr, it is natural to ask when there exists a curve C ⊂ Pr, of degree d and genus g, passing through p1, p2,..., pn. In this paper, we give a complete answer to this question for curves C with nonspecial hyperplane section. This result is a consequence of our main theorem, which states that the normal bundle NC of a general nonspecial curve of degree d and genus g in Pr (with d >= g + r) has the property of interpolation (i.e. that for a general effective divisor D of any degree on C, either H0(NC(-D)) = 0 or H1(NC(-D)) = 0), with exactly three exceptions.
