It’s June Book Club selection time for Oprah and her staff she’s going with Pulitzer Prize-winning novel Middlesex by Jefferey Eugenides. The book follows the progress of a rare gene mutation through three generations of the Stephanides family, culminating, finally, in Cal, a hermaphrodite who for 14 years is raised as a girl until her friends and family start to notice something is amiss. The novel spans continents and decades, tackles science and superstition, and navigates the ever-twist annals of teenage sexuality in a brilliant, effortless way.

It deserved the Pulitzer, lets just say that. Don’t believe Oprah? Blasphemy! Learn the truth here.
