Middlesex

Eugenides, Jeffrey (Author).

Summary: Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides tells the story of Calliope, or Callie, who is born and raised as a girl in an American family of Greek descent. However, as a teenager Callie is revealed to be intersex following a car accident, and decides to begin living as a man named Cal. The novel charts the events leading up to this revelation, including the unusual history of Cal’s Greek family, and explores his struggles to fit in as either a man or a woman. Although the novel is not strictly autobiographical, many elements of it reflect Eugenides’ own life, and the author garnered praise for his sensitive depiction of the immigrant and intersex experiences. The novel was both a popular and critical success, and won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 2003.
