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.http://us.macmillan.com/author/jeffre...http://www.harpercollins.co.uk/Author...

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."

按时间顺序读过了《The Virgin Suicides》《Middlesex》《The Marriage Plot》三部尤金尼德斯的长篇小说，按我个人的喜好排序就是《The Virgin Suicides》＞《The Marriage Plot》＞《Middlesex》备受好评的中性我对其却最没啥感情，果然喜欢和好是不能硬生生地挂钩的。 不得不...  

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

不管怎么绕来绕去女主角还是对男主角说了yes，虽然是现代作品，语言复杂缓慢不输维多利亚时代啊…

The book sucks! It’s the most boring book I have read! Words are beautiful, but what the hell is “plot”?Is the girl mentally ill like her depressed husband? She gave no chance to cute Mitchell but sacrificed so much taking care of that man who gave her nothing in return! What’s the point of the story? Anyway It’s not my cup of tea.

前半部分写布朗的让人感同身受，把藤校文科生刻画得很真实，但后半部分就有点无聊了。大概就是个大学毕业生寻找自我的故事
