Description: “Middlesex: A Novel” by Jeffrey Eugenides is a Pulitzer Prize-winning epic that spans generations, continents, and genders. This compelling and richly woven narrative follows the life of Calliope Stephanides, later known as Cal, a hermaphrodite born into a Greek-American immigrant family. The story begins in 1920s Asia Minor, follows the family’s migration to Detroit, and continues through the American 20th century. Eugenides blends historical events with personal experiences, crafting a unique exploration of identity, gender, and the American immigrant experience. Through the voice of Cal, the novel delves deep into the complexities of biology and the fluid spectrum of gender identity, against the backdrop of the sweeping cultural changes of the last century. A profound narrative with vibrant characters and meticulous historical details, “Middlesex” is not just the story of a person, but an engaging, compassionate, and often humorous examination of what it means to be different in a rigidly conventional world. The book’s inclusion in Oprah’s Book Club highlights its broad appeal and significance in contemporary literature.
