‘I was born twice: first, as a baby girl, on a remarkably smogless Detroit day of January 1960; and then again, as a teenage boy, in an emergency room near Petoskey, Michigan, in August of l974.’

So begins the breathtaking story of Calliope Stephanides and her truly unique family secret, born on the slopes of Mount Olympus and passed on through three generations.

Growing up in 70s Michigan, Calliope’s special inheritance will turn her into Cal, the narrator of this intersex, inter-generational epic of immigrant life in 20th century America.

Middlesex won the 2003 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.

Dieses Buch ist eine Weltreise und hat seine Preise und Auszeichnungen wahrlich verdient.
Es ist sehr leicht zu lesen/hören, hat eine tolle Sprache, läuft einem wie ein Film vor Augen ab und man lernt noch total viel über Geschichte, Paarbeziehung, Eifersucht und Liebe, Migration, Automobilproduktion, Nation of Islam und Seidenraupenzucht!! Was für ein wilder Ritt!
Und großartig gelesen!

Wow!

Großartig!

This novel is engaging and entertaining; definitely worth listening to. That being said, I do feel that some passages in the past are unnecessarily long and detailed and lack some binding medium that would connect these episodes with the narrators life and fate. Also, I had hoped for much more insight into the experience of being a hermaphrodite. Instead of introspection, there is only narration. Less love of narrative detail (maybe less volume allover) and more insights into characters would have done the story a favour.

Sweeping saga with a good touch of humour
