ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
“Middlesex” by Jeffrey Eugenides follows the life of Cal Stephanides, an intersex individual, as she navigates the complexities of identity, gender, and family. Born as Calliope, Cal grows up in a Greek-American family in Detroit, unaware of the genetic condition that defines her. The novel explores her transition from childhood to adulthood, grappling with societal expectations, cultural clashes, and personal self-discovery. Set against the backdrop of historical events like the Civil Rights Movement and sexual liberation, the book delves into themes of gender, cultural identity, family legacy, and the quest for self-acceptance.
