Middlesex — 1 Comment

  1. Middlesex is definitely one of those love-’em or hate-’em books. Nobody has a neutral reaction. Some people get lulled into thinking it’s a family story, with characters right out of My Big Fat Greek Wedding, and are floored when they get to the protagonist’s REAL problem. Others are able to put themselves in Eugenides’ hands and go with the flow of the story.

    I like how Eugenides, here as in The Virgin Suicides, registers the reactions to ordinary people caught up in a truly extraordinary event. I just wish he would manage to write more frequently than a book every 9 or 10 years.
