Callie, eller Cal, föddes två gånger först som flicka 1960, sedan som pojke 1974. Med den gåtfulla redogörelsen börjar Middlesex. Calliope Stephanides inser varför hon inte är som andra när en tre generationer gammal familjehemlighet avslöjas. 1922 tvingades den grekiska familjen fly från sin hemby i Anatolien, i samband med grek-turkiska kriget. När Calliopes farmor och farfar anlände till USA liknade de vilket älskande par som helst - ingen fick veta att de i själva verket var syskon. Först många år senare uppdagas hemligheten genom barnbarnet Callie, eller Cal en av de mest hänförande berättarrösterna i engelskspråkig litteratur på senare år. Middlesex [2002], Jeffrey Eugenides Pulitzerpris-vinnande andra bok har kallats 2000-talets stora amerikanska roman. En berättelse om öde, om vårt genetiska arv och om möjligheten till revolt. Här i svensk översättning av Hans-Jacob Nilsson.

JEFFREY EUGENIDES är en amerikansk författare, född i Detroit 1960, med grekisk far och irländsk-engelsk mor. The Virgin Suicides gick som följetong i The Paris Review innan den gavs ut i bokform 1993 och blev en av nittiotalets mest omtalade debutromaner. Efterföljande Middlesex [2002] belönades 2003 med Pulitzerpriset, ett av världens mest prestigefyllda litterära priser.

»Eugenides har den riktige berättarens mest magiska gåva: förmågan att förvandla det vardagliga till något fantastiskt.« | The New York Times

Virgin Suicides utspelar sig i Michigan-förorten Grosse Pointe. En grupp män försöker tjugo år efteråt förstå den ännu ouppklarade tragedin i deras barndom, vars huvudpersoner ännu förhäxar dem. Den som läst Jeffrey Eugenides lika förföriska som makabra debutroman, kommer för alltid minnas de unga systrarna Lisbon: Cecilia (13), Lux (14), Bonnie (15), Mary (16) och Therese (17), som samtliga begår självmord - den yngsta av dem först - utan att omgivningen kan förstå varför. Virgin Suicides [1993], som senare även blev storfilm i regi av Sofia Coppola, framstår alltmer som en modern amerikansk klassiker. Här i svensk översättning av Stefan Gurt.

»Oemotståndlig. Alldeles lysande.« | The Times

»Underbart originell.« | The Independent

» Räddaren i nöden för vår tid.« | The Observer
