Jeffrey Eugenides

Second Skin

"John Hawkes is an extraordinary writer. I have always admired his books. They should be more widely read."—Saul Bellow Skipper, an ex-World War II naval Lieutenant and the narrator of Second Skin , interweaves past and present—what he refers to as his "naked history"—in a series of episodes that tell the story of a volatile life marked by pitiful losses, as well as a more elusive, overwhelming, joy. The past: the suicides of his father, wife and daughter, the murder of his son-in-law, a brutal rape, and subsequent mutiny at sea. The present: caring for his granddaughter on a "northern" island where he works as an artificial inseminator of cows, and attempts to reclaim the innocence with which he faced the tragedies of his earlier life. Combining unflinching descriptions of suffering with his sense of beauty, Hawkes is a master of nimble and sensuous prose who makes the awful and mundane fantastic, and occasionally makes the fantastic surreal.

Bookclub-in-a-Box Discusses Middlesex, the Novel by Jeffrey Eugenides

Transformation, identity, fate, destiny, crime, and punishment are some of the fascinating themes that are unraveled for readers in the Bookclub-in-a-Box discussion guide for Jeffrey Eugenides' Pulitzer Prize winning novel, Middlesex. The guide looks at the central character Callie, a hermaphrodite, and fits her unusual story against an historic and cultural backdrop including Detroit in the 1930's, prohibition, silk-making, myths, legends and Greek tragedy.

Bookclub-in-a-Box illustrates how Eugenides takes this heart-wrenching, but not uncommon situation, and presents it with respect, sympathy and dignity.

As a reader, you will gain a deeper understanding and insight into the complex layers of this riveting story:

- Discover the significance of the minotaur, the mythical Tiresias, Chekhov and gambling.

- Revisit the theory of unisex gender psychology of the early 1970's.

- See how a narrative can double as a time-lapse camera to record the story.

- Learn about hermaphrodism and the third sex.
