Teen Hermaphrodites: It's All Greek to Me
Oct 23, 2002

Pros: No-punches-pulled exploration of hermaphroditic teenage sexual awakening.
Cons: Not so relevant for those of us with just one set of genitals.
Bottom Line: Eugenides is great at capturing '70s teen angst. However, the hermaphrodite angle makes it tough to relate, and the Greek history is bo-ring. Well-written, but occasionally drags.

Cons: Starts a little slow.
