Description'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 1974. My birth certificate lists my name as Calliope Helen Stephanides. My most recent driver's license records my first name simply as Cal.' Reviews'A masterful dissection and reassembling of the American Dream into a shape you will not quite have seen anywhere before' Daily Telegraph 'Superb. Warm and beautifully written. Illuminates part of the human soul' Sunday Times 'Truly original and compelling' Daily Mail 'Eugenides is a big and a big-hearted talent' Jonathan Franzen Author descriptionJeffrey Eugenides was born in Detroit and attended Brown and Stanford Universities.
