As anyone who has set foot in a Barnes and Noble over the past month now knows, Jeffery Eugenides’ Pulitzer Prize-winning novel Middlesex was the Oprah Book Club’s pick for July. As it is now August, I felt I should make one last effort to direct you over to the supplementary material on Oprah’s website, which now includes a fireside chat between O and Eugenides, a Q and A in which reader questions are answered, and Mediterranean-style recipes to serve at YOUR next get-together.

Everything you ever wanted to know is here.

Middlesex Jeffery Eugendies’ Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, was the June pick for Oprah’s Book Club. The story, which you really should read, follows the course of a genetic mutation as it is passed down through three generations of the Stephanides family, emerging finally in their young daughter Calliope, born a hermaphrodite but raised a girl until puberty, when complications arise.

On the Book Club Web site, you can find an introduction to the book, an in-depth bio of Eugenides — who is also well known for his novel, The Virgin Suicides, which Sofia Coppola turned into a movie of the same name in 2003 — and a discussion of nature vs. nurture, which is actually fairly interesting.

I know you are bored at work reading this, so why not check it out?

In other Oprah news, Cormac McCarthy’s recent foray into apocalyptic literature, The Road, is also one of the more unlikely additions to Oprah’s Book Club. The book follows a father and son as they attempt to survive in an ashy, gray and ruined world of the not-to-distant future, staving off in equal parts roving bands of cannibals and their own maddening hunger. (Nothing says “summer read” more than cannibalism.)

McCarthy sits down with the Oprah and, for the first time on television, discusses his novel.

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.
