Overview

El escenario en que transcurre la novela es un típico suburbio americano: cada casa idéntica a la siguiente, con idénticas parcelas de terreno sin cercar, y en la que siempre hay una botella de leche, al lado de la puerta, justo ahí, donde el chico que por la mañana temprano reparte los periódicos deja caer un ejemplar. Se da la bienvenida a los nuevos vecinos con tartas caseras, se llevan platos preparados a los funerales, se preparan barbacoas y existe un día, a comienzos del otoño, en el que todos se ponen de acuerdo para eliminar las hojas que caen de los árboles, dejando las cuadrículas de césped inmaculadas. En el verano de ese entorno, las hermanas Bonnie, Thérese, Lux y Mary Lisbon se suicidan. Muchos años después ...

Overview

El escenario en que transcurre la novela es un típico suburbio americano: cada casa idéntica a la siguiente, con idénticas parcelas de terreno sin cercar, y en la que siempre hay una botella de leche, al lado de la puerta, justo ahí, donde el chico que por la mañana temprano reparte los periódicos deja caer un ejemplar. Se da la bienvenida a los nuevos vecinos con tartas caseras, se llevan platos preparados a los funerales, se preparan barbacoas y existe un día, a comienzos del otoño, en el que todos se ponen de acuerdo para eliminar las hojas que caen de los árboles, dejando las cuadrículas de césped inmaculadas. En el verano de ese entorno, las hermanas Bonnie, Thérese, Lux y Mary Lisbon se suicidan. Muchos años después cuando los que entonces eran muchachos adolescentes se acercan rápidamente a la mediana edad, rememoran y tratan de dar sentido a lo que en aquel verano ocurrió, aquello que no ha dejado de obsesionarles y cuyo significado se les escapó en su momento y todavía ahora no son capaces de reconstruir. Todo este tiempo han guardado, como reliquias, distintos objetos que pertenecieron a las hermanas y que repasan una y otra vez tratando de dar con la solución del enigma.

Meet the Author

Jeffrey Eugenides
Jeffrey Eugenides
Concerned with themes that are simultaneously disturbing and intriguing, Jeffrey Eugenides caught the attention of readers with 1993's The Virgin Suicides. He garnered the Pulitzer Prize for 2002's Middlesex -- cementing his reputation as an edgy author with an ability to imbue scenes of ordinariness and nostalgia with an otherworldly importance.

Biography

Jeffrey Eugenides grew up in Grosse Pointe, Michigan, and attended Brown and Stanford Universities. His novel Middlesex was the winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the Ambassador Book Award, and was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award, the IMPAC Dublin Literary Award, France's Prix Medicis, and the Lambda Literary Award. It was also selected for Oprah's Book Club. Eugenides' first novel, The Virgin Suicides, was adapted into a critically-acclaimed film by Sofia Coppola. He is on the faculty of Princeton University, and lives in Princeton, New Jersey.

Good To Know

Jonathan Safran Foer's novel Everything Is Illuminated grew out of his creative writing thesis project, which was advised by Joyce Carol Oates and Eugenides.

Eugenides considered becoming a priest or a monk, and worked alongside Mother Teresa in India for one week during a traveling break from college. He explained to the Calgary Herald, "I was so unformed in my personality and was trying on different personas; being a saint was a bit tight on my shoulders, though. At 20 you can really change your philosophy of the world by reading a single book, or by one chance meeting."

Eugenides, who got the idea for The Virgin Suicides when his nephew's babysitter revealed to him that she and all her siblings had attempted suicide, wrote the book while working as an administrator at the Academy of American Poets in New York. The first chapter was published in the Paris Review in 1991, getting him an agent and, two days later, a book deal.

In a 1995 piece for the New York Times entitled, "Hand Me My Air Guitar: I'm Still a Jethro Tull Fan," Eugenides paid homage to one of his favorite bands. "Being a Tull fan is a chronic condition," he wrote. "As with malaria, a swampiness reclaims the veins without warning."
