It was very evident he had a very careful skill "The Virgin Suicides," his first novel, documents the fall of a suburban Detroit neighborhood There was a poster of `Billy Jack' by the door " Calliope gives way to Cal, who ends up working in Berlin for the State Department, and, when it comes to dating, suffering more than usual from commitment problems Calliope Helen Stephanides was born in 1960 and grows up on Middlesex Boulevard in Grosse Pointe, Mich In "Middlesex," he seeks to demonstrate why his hometown is "emblematic of the American experience You have a lot of culture coming out of Detroit â€â€? Motown and things like that Jeffrey Eugenides Has New Novel Oct 30, 12:58 PM EST NEW YORK (AP) â€â€? Gus Vlahavas, restaurateur and community leader, is spreading the word We went up to her room Greece is his heritage, but his childhood years run deeper in his blood ' At a certain point with this book, I realized I wasn't going to save anything for another novel It was more about the scale of his project, the research and the personal commitment, the realization he was writing this book as if it were his last I was like Darwin, taking notes The 544-page "Middlesex" is an epic about being Greek, about being American and about being a hermaphrodite â€â€? loosely defined as someone with both male and female sexual organs "He's a Greek-American boy Early sales have been strong, even if some booksellers have an awkward time presenting its subject matter "Sometimes, when you're writing you think, `Well, I'll save it for another novel " Women, too, obviously fascinate him She wrote around it," he says "The Virgin Suicides," is narrated by a group of neighborhood boys who are mesmerized by five beautiful sisters who end up killing themselves "She could hardly describe the experience In "Middlesex," Eugenides writes as a man who once lived as a woman and has special insight into how the sexes differ " "You have, No After college, he went to San Francisco, wrote for the sailing magazine Yachtsman and studied at Stanford University " He has stopped by the diner for an interview, to pay his respects and to drop off a signed copy of his book, now placed against the wall " "The Virgin Suicides" was published nine years ago, but remained popular long after its release, thanks to the 1999 film version starring Kirsten Dunst and directed by Sofia Coppola, daughter of Francis Ford Coppola Men think their bodies are theirs alone " Credit the author's curiosity partly to his belief that all writers should be, in a sense, hermaphrodites, able to inhabit the minds and bodies of men or women "What usually impresses me is somebody really has control what they're doing Inside was the most incredible mess I had ever seen Eugenides got the idea for "Middlesex" after reading a book by French philosopher Michel Foucault that contained a memoir by a 19th-century hermaphrodite "You don't want to start right off by telling someone the book is about a hermaphrodite, because that can be a put-off "You have racial conflict, that has divided a city, and in some ways destroyed it So this was a new world for me "He wrote this," Vlahavas says, looking behind him, where a thick book stands on a ledge at eye level The movie received strong reviews and led to renewed interest in the novel, which now has nearly 300,000 copies in print He majored in English at Brown University, where he carried a cane in honor of James Joyce's Stephen Dedalus " Eugenides' book includes its own wry disclaimer â€â€? "I've given up any hope of lasting fame or literary perfection," Cal/Calliope confides â€â€? but "Middlesex" has literary and commercial appeal "Do you see that gentleman?" he says to two customers just stepping inside Tom's Restaurant, pointing to a booth in the back corner where a dark-haired man with a goatee and thin mustache is being photographed "At my house we had transistors and electric guitars and hockey sets I just tell them it's a great story and that it's fun to read," says Mark Laframboise, a sales official at Politics & Prose, a Washington, D But also label it compensation for what he missed in childhood: Eugenides has two brothers, and no sisters And you have the most American of all products, the automobile "I thought this girl should put her clothes away in her closets, but then I looked at the closets and saw that they were already overflowing, with more sweaters and dresses and kilts "Middlesex" is also a Greek-American's affirmation of the American over the Greek, of possibility over predetermined fate With the freedom of a modern writer, Eugenides describes the biological and spiritual changes of his narrator, of being "ridiculed by classmates, guinea-pigged by doctors, palpated by specialists and researched by the March of Dimes He eventually moved to New York City and worked as executive secretary for the Academy of American Poets, with many a meal taken at Tom's " Vlahavas stands proud â€â€? even after a reporter informs him of the novel's plot, which momentarily shrinks his wide smile to a tiny circle Eugenides has joked that completing "Middlesex" was an epic task that took "as long as the Trojan War The title is "Middlesex" and the author's name is Jeffrey Eugenides Clothes were strewn all over the shag carpeting, sweaters, dresses, kilts and shoes, not to mention underwear and bras," he recalls The book's cover has a yellow-green, tropical design, featuring a naked figure rising from a flower " Story telling was another early obsession, and by high school Eugenides had dedicated himself to a writer's life The author found the text fascinating, but beholden to the times " But the slow pace had nothing to do with writer's block or sophomore syndrome A native of Detroit, the 42-year-old Eugenides has lived the past few years in Germany (he received a fellowship from the American Academy in Berlin), but returned to the United States this fall for a cross-country tour of "Middlesex "Women know what it means to have a body," Eugenides writes -based bookstore 1, this great industrial power that has fallen upon hard times," he says "He's a good boy," Vlahavas says later, patting the author's pale, tender cheek with his big, friendly hand I noticed all these things because we didn't have them back at my house He also began work on "The Virgin Suicides," which was excerpted in the influential Paris Review magazine "I remember going over to the house of a girl I was friends with in high school They tend them in private, even in public "They understand its difficulties and frailties, its glories and pleasures " "I did have the sense I was using everything I had in this book," he says She is a girl of enviable appearance until, as a teen-ager, she begins growing a mustache and otherwise turning more than "a little bit freakish It's like somebody drawing a sketch and you just know they how to use the pencil On the beside table there were open jars of lotion and lipstick tubes and hairbrushes and the odd dinner plate with food still on it Jeffrey Eugenides, expatriate writer, has come "home" to the Greek diner in Brooklyn where he enjoyed tuna melt sandwiches as an unknown writer and now digs into a tuna melt as author of one of the year's most praised novels Cal's ancestors see life as inevitable tragedy, but the narrator of "Middlesex" has the American's hopeful eye for the next big thing "It was one of those pieces you read maybe once or twice a year that makes you rise slowly out of your chair, a visceral sort of, `Holy Moses, now I know why I'm doing this magazine' sort of moment," says George Plimpton, the Paris Review's founder and editor The "freakish" life is more a matter of curiosity than of experience for Eugenides, an investment banker's son, who, like Cal, was born in 1960 and raised in suburban Grosse Pointe It was published by Farrar, Straus & Giroux with a first printing of 75,000 and was cited recently by Book magazine as among the year's best fiction Tom's, renamed "The Zebra Room," appears in the novel, as does Berlin, several decades of Detroit and a narrator who begins life as a girl and later lives it as a man C " The deep-voiced White was hospitalized in August 1999 for a blood pressure problem that forced him to cancel several performances "He had a stroke that affected his speech and the right side of his body, but he is in great spirits " Shaherah White said her father must be stabilized before he can undergo a transplant operation Singer Barry White in 'Great Spirits' May 17, 2:30 PM EST Singer Barry White is "in great spirits" as he recovers from a stroke that affected his speech and the right side of his body, his daughter said Friday "He will definitely be performing again "He's had a minor setback, but have no fear, he'll be fine," Shaherah White said He was undergoing dialysis treatment to stabilize his condition White, whose popularity reached a peak in the 1970s, won two Grammys in 2000 for best male and traditional R&B vocal performance for the song "Staying Power "My dad had surgery May 1 to place a catheter in his arm," she said " She spoke at a news conference on plans to rename South Park Recreation Center after her father, who grew up in that section of Los Angeles White, 58, suffered the stroke while waiting for a kidney transplant needed because of complications from years of chronic high blood pressure |
