The Marriage Plot

Jeffrey Kent Eugenides is an American Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist and short story writer of Greek and Irish extraction.

Eugenides was born in Detroit, Michigan, of Greek and Irish descent. He attended Grosse Pointe's private University Liggett School. He took his undergraduate degree at Brown University, graduating in 1983. He later earned an M.A. in Creative Writing from Stanford University.

In 1986 he received the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Nicholl Fellowship for his story "Here Comes Winston, Full of the Holy Spirit". His 1993 novel, The Virgin Suicides, gained mainstream interest with the 1999 film adaptation directed by Sofia Coppola. The novel was reissued in 2009.

Eugenides is reluctant to appear in public or disclose details about his private life, except through Michigan-area book signings in which he details the influence of Detroit and his high-school experiences on his writings. He has said that he has been haunted by the decline of Detroit.

Jeffrey Eugenides lives in Princeton, New Jersey with his wife, the photographer and sculptor Karen Yamauchi, and their daughter. In the fall of 2007, Eugenides joined the faculty of Princeton University's Program in Creative Writing.

His 2002 novel, Middlesex, won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction and the Ambassador Book Award. Part of it was set in Berlin, Germany, where Eugenides lived from 1999 to 2004, but it was chiefly concerned with the Greek-American immigrant experience in the United States, against the rise and fall of Detroit. It explores the experience of the intersexed in the USA. Eugenides has also published short stories.

Eugenides is the editor of the collection of short stories titled My Mistress's Sparrow is Dead. The proceeds of the collection go to the writing center 826 Chicago, established to encourage young people's writing.

In Eugenides' first novel since the Pulitzer Prize-winning Middlesex (2002), English major and devotee of classic literature Madeleine Hanna is a senior at Reagan-era Brown University. Only when curiosity gets the best of her does she belly up to Semiotics 211, a bastion of postmodern liberalism, and meet handsome, brilliant, mysterious Leonard Bankhead. Completing a triangle is Madeleine's friend Mitchell, a clear-eyed religious-studies student who believes himself her true intended. Eugenides' drama unfolds over the next year or so. His characteristically deliberate, researched realization of place and personality serve him well, and he strikes perfectly tuned chords by referring to works ranging from Barthes' Lovers' Discourse to Bemelmans' Madeline books for children. The remarkably à propos title refers to the subject of Madeleine's honors thesis, which is the Western novel's doing and undoing, in that, upon the demise, circa 1900, of the marriage plot, the novel 'didn't mean much anymore,' according to Madeleine's professor and, perhaps, Eugenides. With this tightly, immaculately self-contained tale set upon pillars at once imposing and of dollhouse scale, namely, academia ('College wasn't like the real world,' Madeleine notes) and the emotions of the youngest of twentysomethings, Eugenides realizes the novel whose dismantling his characters examine."

今年关于读书的计划,是把100本的配额种,挪一些到长篇小说中,那么少看一些互联网方法论,设计知识和工作方法。空余时间久这么多,而这样的取舍完全值得。 去年底看完了《斯通纳》,那种对人生的高度自省态度,很震撼。接着看评论,说《斯通纳》和《源泉》很像,讲的都是“固...

这本书适合非常无聊的人读 书里对情感和环境的描写非常细致,细致到了有时让人抓狂的程度。男女主角上学的时候读的书记,某一节课的细节,某一段经历的种种。但是其实这些细节又无比重要,它们最后都指向了每个人不同的绝望,以及最后的放手。 读到最后那个YES的时候有流泪的冲...

此书评为补记,重读会重写、添加 2018.1.1 看到一些评论国内和国外的,说这本书只有非常闲的没事时候看,还有说对女主角塑造不细腻,啰嗦无关紧要的细节描写太多,说作者卖弄学术……但是对于我来说,这真的是一本让我沉浸其中的小说,上面说的问题确实存在,但是有种什么魔力...

one of the worst books that i have ever read. Please don't waste ur time on it

断断续续看了两三个月,前半部分很慢,后半部分较快。同Freedom一样的三角关系,精神病Leonard、爱情失意寻求上帝的Mitchell和未婚女子Madeleine。除了Romance主线外,还有维多利亚时期文学、语言学、心理学、宗教学、生物学等元素大杂烩。但结尾部分颇弱,再多

Madeleine the English major interested in Victorian novels, Leonard the scientist/philosopher suffering from manic depression, Mitchell who struggles with spirituality doing voluntary work in India, quotes by Heidegger, Derrida and Barthes, more obscure names dropped --reasonably good leisurely reading for college students, but is there more to it?
