==Biography==
Jeffrey Kent Eugenides was born in [[Detroit]] on March 8, 1960. He is of Greek descent through his father and English and Irish descent through his mother. He has two older brothers.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.harpercollins.co.uk/Authors/7682/jeffrey-eugenides|title=Jeffrey Eugenides&nbsp;– Harper Collins Author Profile|work=HarperCollins UK|access-date=10 October 2014|archive-date=1 February 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140201103332/http://www.harpercollins.co.uk/authors/7682/jeffrey-eugenides|url-status=dead}}</ref> He attended [[Grosse Pointe, Michigan|Grosse Pointe]]'s private [[University Liggett School]] and then [[Brown University]] (where he became friends with contemporary [[Rick Moody]]).<ref name="theparisreview.org">{{cite journal|url=http://www.theparisreview.org/interviews/6117/the-art-of-fiction-no-215-jeffrey-eugenides|title=Jeffrey Eugenides, The Art of Fiction No. 215|journal=The Paris Review|author=James Gibbons|date=Winter 2011|volume=Winter 2011|issue=199}}</ref> He graduated from Brown in 1982 after taking a year off to travel across Europe, during which time he also volunteered with [[Mother Teresa]] in [[Calcutta]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2011/09/25/jeffrey-eugenides-on-his-new-novel-the-marriage-plot.html|title=The Daily Beast&nbsp;– Eugenides Returns!|publisher=Thedailybeast.com|access-date=10 October 2014}}</ref> Of his decision to study at Brown, he said, "I chose Brown largely in order to study with [[John Hawkes (novelist)|John Hawkes]], whose work I admired. I entered the honors program in English, which forced me to study the entire English tradition, beginning with ''[[Beowulf]]''. I felt that since I was going to try to add to the tradition, I had better know something about it."<ref name="theparisreview.org"/> In 1986, he earned an [[Master of Arts|M.A.]] in English and [[Creative Writing]] from [[Stanford University]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Jeffrey Eugenides reads this evening at CEMEX Auditorium |url=https://library.stanford.edu/blogs/stanford-libraries-blog/2013/02/jeffrey-eugenides-reads-evening-cemex-auditorium |access-date=2022-04-26 |date=2013-02-25|website=Stanford Libraries |language=en}}</ref> Eugenides knew he wanted to be a writer from a relatively early age, stating, <blockquote>"I decided very early; during my junior year of high school. We read ''[[A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man]]'' that year, and it had a big effect on me, for reasons that seem quite amusing to me now. I'm half Irish and half Greek—my mother's family were [[Kentucky|Kentuckians]], Southern [[Hillbilly|hillbillies]], and my paternal grandparents immigrants from [[Anatolia|Asia Minor]]—and, for that reason, I identified with [[Stephen Dedalus]]. Like me, he was bookish, good at academics, and possessed an 'absurd name, an ancient Greek'. [...] I do remember thinking [...] that to be a writer was the best thing a person could be. It seemed to promise maximum alertness to life. It seemed holy to me, and almost religious."<ref name="theparisreview.org" /> </blockquote>Of his earliest literary influences, he cited "the great [[modernist]]s. [[James Joyce|Joyce]], [[Marcel Proust|Proust]], [[William Faulkner|Faulkner]]. From these I went on to discover [[Robert Musil|Musil]], [[Virginia Woolf|Woolf]], and others, and soon my friends and I were reading [[Thomas Pynchon|Pynchon]] and [[John Barth]]. My generation grew up backward. We were weaned on experimental writing before ever reading much of the nineteenth-century literature the [[Modernism|modernists]] and [[Postmodernism|postmodernists]] were reacting against."<ref name="theparisreview.org" />

Eugenides was raised in Detroit and cites the influence of the city and his high school experiences on his writings. He has said that he has "a perverse love" of his birthplace: "I think most of the major elements of American history are exemplified in Detroit, from the triumph of the automobile and the assembly line to the blight of racism, not to mention the music, [[Motown]], the [[MC5]], house, techno."<ref name="Foer">{{cite interview|last=Eugenides |first=Jeffrey |interviewer=[[Jonathan Safran Foer|Foer, Jonathan Safran]] |title=Jeffrey Eugenides |url=http://bombsite.com/issues/81/articles/2519 |publisher=[[Bomb (magazine)|Bomb]] |year=2002 |access-date=2011-03-07 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100308002123/http://bombsite.com/issues/81/articles/2519 |archive-date=2010-03-08 |url-status=live }}</ref> He also says he has been "haunted" by the decline of Detroit.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/video/books/1194840219862/a-conversation-with-jeffrey-eugenides.html |title=A Conversation with Jeffrey Eugenides&nbsp;– Interview|newspaper=[[The New York Times]]|date=15 May 2009|access-date=2015-03-01}}</ref> In 1983, after graduating from Brown, he moved to [[San Francisco]] with the intention of becoming a writer and lived on [[Haight Street]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Hughes |first=Evan |date=October 7, 2011 |title=Is 'The Marriage Plot' by Jeffrey Eugenides Based in Reality? -- New York Magazine - Nymag |url=https://nymag.com/arts/books/features/jeffrey-eugenides-2011-10/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231003064623/https://nymag.com/arts/books/features/jeffrey-eugenides-2011-10/ |archive-date=October 3, 2023 |access-date=July 30, 2024 |website=New York Magazine |language=en}}</ref>

In 1986, he received the [[Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences]] [[Nicholl Fellowships in Screenwriting|Nicholl Fellowship]] for his story "Here Comes Winston, Full of the Holy Spirit." After living a few years in [[San Francisco]], he moved to Brooklyn, New York and worked as secretary for the [[Academy of American Poets]]. While in New York he made friends with numerous similarly struggling writers, including [[Jonathan Franzen]].<ref>{{cite web|last=Hughes |first=Evan |url=https://nymag.com/arts/books/features/jeffrey-eugenides-2011-10/ |title=Is 'The Marriage Plot' by Jeffrey Eugenides Based in Reality? – New York Magazine |publisher=Nymag.com |date=2011-10-09 |access-date=2015-03-01}}</ref>

From 1999 to 2004, Eugenides lived in [[Berlin]], where he moved after being awarded a grant from the [[German Academic Exchange Service]] to write in Berlin for a year.<ref>[http://www.daad.de/alumni/de/4.2.1_03.html "Jeffrey Eugenides"], DAAD.  {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090206221423/http://www.daad.de/alumni/de/4.2.1_03.html|date=February 6, 2009}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Goldstein |first=Bill |date=2003-01-01 |title=A Novelist Goes Far Afield but Winds Up Back Home Again |language=en-US |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2003/01/01/books/a-novelist-goes-far-afield-but-winds-up-back-home-again.html |access-date=2022-04-26 |issn=0362-4331}}</ref> Since 2007, he has lived in [[Princeton, New Jersey]], where he moved after he joined the faculty of [[Princeton University]]'s Program in Creative Writing.<ref name="Brown">{{cite news|title=Jeffrey Eugenides: Enduring love |author=Brown, Mick |author-link=Mick Brown (journalist) |newspaper=[[The Daily Telegraph]] |location=London |date=2008-01-05 |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/3670336/Jeffrey-Eugenides-Enduring-love.html |access-date=2010-04-02 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101201175948/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/3670336/Jeffrey-Eugenides-Enduring-love.html |archive-date=2010-12-01 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Ratcliffe |first=Michael J. |date=2007-09-19 |title=Prize-winning author joins Princeton faculty |url=https://www.nj.com/timesupdates/2007/09/prizewinning_author_joins_prin.html |access-date=2022-04-26 |website=nj |language=en}}</ref>

Of teaching creative writing, Eugenides remarked in an interview with ''[[The Paris Review]]'', "I tell my students that when you write, you should pretend you're writing the best letter you ever wrote to the smartest friend you have. That way, you'll never dumb things down. You won't have to explain things that don't need explaining. You'll assume an intimacy and a natural shorthand, which is good because readers are smart and don't wish to be condescended to. I think about the reader. I care about the reader. Not 'audience.' Not 'readership.' Just the reader."<ref name="theparisreview.org"/>

In 2018, Eugenides joined [[New York University]]'s Creative Writing Program as a [[Academic tenure|tenured]] full professor and the [[Lewis Glucksman|Lewis and Loretta Glucksman]] Professor in American Letters.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Jeffrey Eugenides joins the NYU Creative Writing Program faculty |url=https://as.nyu.edu/content/nyu-as/as/departments/cwp/program-news.html |access-date=2022-04-26 |website=as.nyu.edu}}</ref>

==Career==

===''The Virgin Suicides''===
{{main|The Virgin Suicides}}
Eugenides' 1993 novel, ''The Virgin Suicides'', has been translated into 34 languages. In 1999, the novel was adapted into [[The Virgin Suicides (film)|a critically acclaimed film]] directed by [[Sofia Coppola]]. Set in [[Grosse Pointe, Michigan]], the novel follows the lives and deaths by suicide of five sisters over the course of an increasingly isolated year, as told from the point of view of the neighborhood boys who obsessively watch them.<ref name="theparisreview.org"/>

===1996–2001===
Eugenides published short stories in the nine years between ''The Virgin Suicides'' and ''Middlesex'', primarily in ''[[The New Yorker]]''. His 1996 story "Baster" became the basis for the 2010 romantic comedy ''[[The Switch (2010 film)|The Switch]]. Eugenides'' temporarily put ''Middlesex'' aside in the late '90s to begin work on a novel that would eventually serve as the basis for his third.<ref name="theparisreview.org"/> Two excerpts of what became Eugenides's work-in-progress third novel after ''Middlesex'' also appeared in ''The New Yorker'' in 2011, "Asleep in the Lord" and "Extreme Solitude." Eugenides also served as the editor of the collection of short stories titled ''My Mistress's Sparrow Is Dead''. The proceeds of the collection go to the writing center [[826 National|826 Chicago]], established to encourage young people's writing.

===''Middlesex''===
{{main|Middlesex (novel)}}
His 2002 novel, ''Middlesex'', won the 2003 [[Pulitzer Prize for Fiction]] in addition to being a finalist for the [[National Book Critics Circle Award]], the [[International Dublin Literary Award]], and France's [[Prix Médicis]].<ref>{{cite web|author=Jeffrey Eugenides |url=http://us.macmillan.com/middlesex/JeffreyEugenides |title=Middlesex &#124; Jeffrey Eugenides &#124; Macmillan |publisher=Us.macmillan.com |date=1960-01-08 |access-date=2015-03-01}}</ref> Following the life and self-discovery of Calliope Stephanides, or later, Cal, an [[intersex]] person raised a girl, but genetically male, ''Middlesex'' also broadly deals with the [[Greek Americans|Greek American]] immigrant experience in the United States, the rise and fall of Detroit, and explores the experience of an intersex person in the United States.

===''The Marriage Plot''===
{{main|The Marriage Plot}}
After a nine-year hiatus, Eugenides published his third novel, ''The Marriage Plot'', in October 2011. The novel follows three young adults enmeshed in a [[love triangle]], as they graduate from Brown University and establish themselves in the world. Eugenides is currently at work{{When|date=January 2024|reason=The phrase "currently" does not specify a time period.}} developing a television screenplay of the novel, which was a finalist of the National Book Critics Circle Award for fiction in 2011; a [[The New York Times Book Review|''New York Times'' notable book]] for 2011; and one of the top books of the year according to lists made by ''[[Publishers Weekly]]'', ''Kirkus Reviews'', and ''[[The Daily Telegraph|The Telegraph]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://bookcritics.org/blog/archive/press-release-draft/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120123143612/http://bookcritics.org/blog/archive/press-release-draft |url-status=dead |archive-date=January 23, 2012 |title=National Book Critics Circle: National Book Critics Circle Announces Finalists for Publishing Year 2011 – Critical Mass Blog |publisher=Bookcritics.org |date=2012-01-21 |access-date=2015-03-01}}</ref>

===''Fresh Complaint'' and fourth novel===
{{Main|Fresh Complaint}}
In 2017, Eugenides published ''Fresh Complaint'', a collection of short stories written between 1988 and 2017. He described the work as "a very mixed bag of stories, quite different, not all arranged around a certain theme".

He has suggested that a fourth novel will be published at an unspecified future date: "I have an idea; I don't know if it's going to work. But it's going to be a larger canvas, many more characters than in [''The Marriage Plot'']. Again, I'm going to respond to a very small directive. It's going to be written, well, I'm not going to say — but I know how it's going to be written and what the structure's going to be, and it's going to be quite different than ''The Marriage Plot.''"<ref name="salon">{{cite web|url=http://www.salon.com/2012/09/26/jeffrey_eugenides_i_dont_know_why_jodi_picoult_is_belly_aching/|title=Jeffrey Eugenides: I don't Know Why Jodi Picoult Is Belly-Aching|work=salon.com|date=27 September 2012|access-date=2014-04-12}}</ref>
