Jeffrey Eugenides
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jeffrey Kent Eugenides (b. April 13, 1960, in Detroit, Michigan) is an American Pulitzer Prize winning novelist and short story writer of Greek and Irish origins. He attended Grosse Pointe's prestigious University Liggett School and graduated from Brown University in 1983. He later earned a M.A. in Creative Writing from Stanford University. His 1993 novel, The Virgin Suicides, gained mainstream interest with the 1999 film adaptation by Sofia Coppola. He is very reluctant to appear in public or disclose details about his private life, except through Michigan-area book signings in which he details his high school experiences' influence on his writings. His 2002 novel, Middlesex, won the prestigious Pulitzer Prize. He now lives in Chicago with his wife and daughter.
