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?

LOL he ALWAYS comes up when I google search EUGENIDES. Which is a bit annoying, it's like NO, I WANT THE THIEF!

Ack! Jeffrey Eugenides has a new book out?! Excellent! Middlesex was so completely enthralling. I haven't read Virgin Suicides, but I've heard good things about it and it's definitely on my list. Wow, thanks for the good news. Even if that probably wasn't your intended purpose by posting here. ;)

Heard him on the radio the other day talking about the book -- it sounds interesting.

Huh, I don't think I'd ever really heard of Jeffrey Eugenides before either. (Apparently, I also need to broaden my knowledge of literary horizons.)
Well, even if he is famous, it is kind of a funny coincidence. :)

Don't worry, I never heard of him either! I don't pay much attention to authors outside this genre either, so I never heard of him or his books!
Thanks for sharing this interesting coincidence! (Eugenides is one of my few favorite characters who I have never actually googled, so I never saw this before!)

I only heard of him because I randomly saw someone reading Middlesex in one of my classes and of course wigged out when I saw the author's last name on the spine. I didn't even know that Eugenides was a real Greek name before I saw it! Lol, and I concur with the crack up above, we need to send him an email lodging a formal complaint pronto.

THE MARRIAGE PLOT? This is really getting quite inconvenient. :)
