Your "brief (and irreverent) summary" made me LOL. It reminded me of those humorous literal book title posts that make the rounds on tumblr. Attolia redefines the term "statement jewelry" and Eugenides naps dramatically (twice) in particular would make hilarious chapter titles. :D
Doesn't matter how many times I've read it... the part where Gen admits he's frightened and asks his god to make him less afraid ALWAYS gives me secondhand (er, no pun intended) anxiety. Just thinking about it now is making me break out in a cold sweat.
