I just don't believe it.

And now that I think about it, the title sounds a titch too coincidental. The Marriage Plot? Hmmm.

Jeffrey Eugenides is really famous- and part Greek with a Greek last name So?

[lizzyazula.livejournal.com]

What? Everyone already knows about him?! Well, that puts a damper on this post, doesn't it?

[attackfish.livejournal.com]

He won a Pulitzer, and he ruins my google searches.

[lizzyazula.livejournal.com]

Ah, the Pulitzer. The people who win that generally aren't authors who write in the genres I enjoy. Sorry. I probably should broaden my horizons to avoid episodes like this one.

[attackfish.livejournal.com]

The important part is he ruins my google searches.

[booksrgood4u.livejournal.com]

Definitely ruins google searches - Bing searcches too!
Now Mr. Eugenides, just because you won a Pullitzer doesn't give you the right to ruin peoples internet searches.....

[attackfish.livejournal.com]

The nerve.

[tiegirl.livejournal.com]

Yes, this. How dare he.

He'll have to legally change his name.

*nods*

There is no other solution.

We should write him a letter, and all sign it, asking him very nicely to change his name, or at the very least, change the spelling!

Dear Mr. Jeffery Eugenides,

Recent complaints filed in the courts of Fangirl-de-villa have brought to our attention that your name is a point of contention amongst our members. It appears that your unfortunate Greek name has repeatedly interfered with internet searches concerning our idol and beloved fictional boyfriend, Eugenides, king of Attolia.

Unfortunately, the object of our affection has no last name with which to distinguish himself from you. And technically, he doesn't have a first name, either. This, sadly, appears to be quite common in his family, as his parents also go nameless.

On this marked day, we respectfully request that you legally change your last name to something less inconvenient, and never allow it to be uttered on the internet again.

Thank you for your immediate attention in addressing this problem.

Sincerely,
Fangirl-de-villa, AKA the Reprobates

My Sounis court title is Lady Jane of the Valley of the Parodies. I must live up to it occasionally! :)
