图书描述

Book Description

In the spring of 1974, Calliope Stephanides, a student at a girls' school in Grosse Pointe, finds herself drawn to a chain-smoking, strawberry-blond classmate with a gift for acting. The passion that furtively develops between them leads Callie to suspect that she is not like other girls. In fact, Callie has inherited a rare genetic mutation. The biological trace of a guilty secret, this gene has followed her grandparents from the crumbling Ottoman Empire to Detroit and has outlasted the glory days of the Motor City, the race riots of 1967, and the family's second migration, into the foreign country known as suburbia. Thanks to the gene, Callie is part girl, part boy. And even though the gene's epic travels have ended, her own odyssey has only begun.

Amazon.co.uk Review

Middlesex is a significantly more ambitious and much odder novel than Jeffrey Eugenides' resonant debut, The Virgin Suicides (on DVD), which was a bittersweet paean to adolescent love. This is a sprawling family saga, bursting with life, which spans three generations and crosses several continents. At its core, however, is another unorthodox but exquisite coming-of-age story.

The book's wily narrator and central character, Calliope Stephanides (named after the muse of epic poetry) is a hermaphrodite raised as a girl who comes to realise she is happier as a boy and is now living as a man in contemporary Berlin. Cal's tale begins, appropriately enough, in Greece (or more precisely Asia Minor)--an Aegean Strasbourg whose sovereignty is claimed by Greece and Turkey. In 1922 brother and sister Lefty and Desdemona Stephanides escaped their war-torn homeland and arrived, as man and wife, in Detroit, America. It is this coupling that ultimately begets their grandchild Calliope and her ambiguous sexuality, as she, or rather by then he, sanguinely notes:

Some people inherit houses; others painting or highly insured violin bows. Still others get Japanese tansu or a famous name. I got a recessive gene on fifth chromosome and some very rare family jewels indeed.

As Cal recounts the experiences of the Stephanides clan in their new land--from the Depression to Nixon--he unfurls his own symbiotic odyssey to a new sex. Cal's narrative voice is arch, humorous and self aware, continually drawing attention to its authorial sleights of hand, but never exasperating. This is big, brainy novel--The Oracle of Delphi puts in an unlikely appearance in the middle of a teenage tryst--but one full of compassion. Eugenides' astonishingly rich story persistently engages the heart as well as the mind.

                           --Travis Elborough

读后感

多年前,读过美国作家杰弗里•尤金尼德斯的《处女自杀》,禁不住阅读的食指大动,企盼他的新作能够逾越语言的樊篱,走到我们面前。现在终于等来他的荣获2003年普利策奖的《中性》中译本,虽然,这是一种迟到的满足,却也足慰长期等待的渴念与焦虑。《中性》真的很棒,不仅餍...

跨越80年,走了不知道多少路(小亚细亚到美国要多久,纽约到斯坦福大学有多远),他们哭他们笑,他们贫穷他们富有,他脖子上的小黑板,她头上的发网,那场城市内的战争,那次惊险的冰冻河上的车祸,那场为了女儿的追击殒命... 有震惊,有感动,有遗憾,也有温馨和快乐...

雨天里,朋友在我读完《第二性》之后,推荐我阅读《中性》(Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides)。书,也在雨天里寄到,那时候,上海正经历着史上最暖和的十一月,而我读完的时候,寒流终于将冬天带来。    阅读之前,我早做好了接受各种负面情绪出现的准备,却不料,读得越深...

希腊、神话、移民、史诗,这些元素组合起来,立刻让人想起了希腊电影导演希奥·安哲洛浦洛斯。而翻过《中性》最后一页,杰弗里·尤金尼德斯叙述的希腊与土耳其之争、移民美国、经济大萧条、禁酒运动、水门事件、底特律种族暴动等轰轰烈烈的事件,加上作者用祖孙三代长达八十年...
