![]() ![]() I have to thank Christina for her excellent reviews of Jeffrey Euginides two other books, The Virgin Suicides and The Marriage Plot, which convinced me to finally read Middlesex - Eugenides' most popular book (and which, if you are familiar with the book blogosphere, is constantly being raved about.) I read/listened to the audiobook of Eugenides most recent novel The Marriage Plot last month, and I was surprised and delighted by how different this book was. ![]() Cal was such a charismatic and loveable narrator. This summary doesn't really do the book justice. About halfway through the book, Cal is born and begins his narrative. He follows Milton and his mom Tessie through their lives. Cal follows them as they settle into their new lives and have a son, Cal's dad Milton. ![]() He begins his story with his grandparents (who were also siblings!), when they left their home in Turkey as immigrants to Detriot in the 1920s. It's about: Cal Stephanides is a hermaphrodite. ![]()
