Middlesex is the story of Cal Stephanides or perhaps, more aptly, the story of the mutated gene that made Cal who he is today-an intersexed Greek-American man living in Berlin, writing down his story. I patiently waited for it to come back in (instead of putting it on hold like a normal person) and immediately snatched it up. While shelving at the library, I stumbled across the audiobook, which was then promptly checked out by someone who wasn’t me. I learned a lot reading it, and the paperback copy I got on SwapTree remains on my bookshelf to this day. If you’ve spent any time on this blog, you’ll know I absolutely love Eugenides, who stole my literary heart with his knack for detail long before Chabon did, and Middlesex is the book that did it.
Middlesex was my introduction to Jeffrey Eugenides in high school-I’d seen a friend of mine toting it around, so I swapped for it on SwapTree and got to reading.
