I just finished reading Middlesex by Detroit area author Jeffrey Eugenides. Absolutely brilliant.

I loved it. The whole reason I picked it up in the first place was because I heard it was about Detroit. Great book.
You’re about two months too late! Jeffrey Euginedes was at Marygrove College about a month ago talking about Middlesex and reading excerpts from it. It was a pretty cool event. Also, if you’ve never been to Marygrove, it’s a beautiful campus.
