Synopsis "The Virgin Suicides: Jeffrey Eugenides (Collins Modern Classics)"

Introducing the Collins Modern Classics, a series featuring some of the most significant books of recent times, books that shed light on the human experience – classics which will endure for generations to come.That girl didn’t want to die. She just wanted out of that house. She wanted out of that decorating scheme.The five Lisbon sisters – beautiful, eccentric and, now, gone –had always been a point of obsession for the entire neighbourhood.Although the boys that once loved them from afar have grown up, they remain determined to understand a tragedy that has defied explanation. The question persists – why did all five of the Lisbon girls take their own lives?This lyrical and timless tale of sex and suicide that transforms and mythologizes suburban middle-American life announced the arrival of one of the greatest American novelists of the last thirty years.‘A flare from my own secret world, all the inchoate longings and obsessions of being a teenager somehow rendered into book form’ Emma Cline, author of The Girls

Jeffrey Eugenides (Detroit, 1960) estudió en las universidades de Brown y Stanford. Es autor de tres aclamadas novelas, todas ellas publicadas por Anagrama: Las vírgenes suicidas, llevada al cine por Sofia Coppola: «Extraordinaria novela, las hermanas Lisbon son a la literatura de los noventa lo que el Holden Caulfield de El guardián entre el centeno fue a la de los cincuenta» (Sergi Sánchez, El Mundo); Middlesex, que obtuvo el Pulitzer 2003 y fue considerada una de las mejores novelas de las últimas décadas: «Sobresaliente, poderosísima» (Antonio Fontana, ABC); «Magnífica saga familiar, una novela deslumbrante» (Ignacio Martínez de Pisón); «Colosal» (David Guzmán, La Razón); y La trama nupcial: «Fino y empático... Eugenides vuelve para reclamar su lugar entre los maestros artesanos de la (gran) novela (americana)» (Rubén Pujol, Rockdelux); «Una luminosa meditación acerca de la distancia que media entre la literatura y la vida» (Eduardo Lago, El País).
