Middlesex tells the story of Greek American Calliope Stephanides, an intersex person who realizes in his teens that he might identify as a boy more than the girl. I knew friends that had read it and had seen several different copies on the shelves in Barnes and Noble yet, despite all of these interactions with the book, I had no idea what Middlesex was about until I started reading it (I didn’t even read the back cover before beginning). ![]() I found it on listicles of best new books and of contemporary books that should be taught in schools one day. Before I read this book, I had heard about how great of a novel it was. ![]()
