It's epic. It's wistful. It's moving. The story of a family and their individual foibles. Read it.

Loved this book. Dives into the immigrant experience, the downfall of detroit, the complexities of family dynamics, love, and over course, life as a hermaphrodite. Eugenides skillfully weaves it all together.

I absolutely loved this. Slightly odd but in a beautiful way, makes you rethink the current pace of our lives. Just writing this makes me want to read it again.

Classic old-school sci-fi. I'm not usually a science fiction reader but this drew me in, even if it's kind of sexist and homophobic. It opens the mind, even if that's in a very 70's kind of way.
