Jeffrey Eugenides

Critically-acclaimed novelist Jeffrey Eugenides became a literary star with the publication of his debut novel The Virgin Suicides in 1993. Having written only three books over the course of eighteen years, The Virgin Suicides, Middlesex and The Marriage Plot, the American author found success with each of his novels and attracted a devoted audience of critics and readers who anxiously awaited each of his works. All of Eugenides's novels tackled the transition from youth to adulthood, each drawing upon the author's own experiences to bring a sense of realism and emotional depth.
