Dear Listener,
I didn’t read Virgin Suicides. I haven’t read Middlesex. I even failed to see the movie The Virgin Suicides. Honestly, I hadn’t even heard of Jeffrey Eugenides until The Marriage Plot came in. BUT! I read The Marriage Plot.
If you like the eighties, or French philosophy, or love triangles, or hopeless romantics, or mystics, or India, or intellectualism, please read this book. If you disdain every single thing I mentioned, if you hate literature, if you can’t stand a modern love story set thirty years ago, do not read this book.
Even if you hate everything I mentioned, watch this video anyway. Be creeped out. Get yourself ready. This video is brought to you by the good people who invented Halloween.
