The Marriage Plot
Literarischer Roman von Jeffrey Eugenides
Brown University, 1982. Madeleine Hanna, dutiful English student and incurable romantic, is writing her thesis on Jane Austen and George Eliot – authors of the great marriage plots. As Madeleine studies the age-old motivations of the human heart, real life, in the form of two very different men, intervenes. Leonard Bankhead, brilliant scientist and charismatic loner, attracts Madeleine with an intensity that she seems powerless to resist. Meanwhile, her old friend Mitchell Grammaticus, a theology student searching for some kind of truth in life, is certain of at least one thing – that he and Madeleine are destined to be together.
Jeffrey Kent Eugenides (* 8. März 1960 in Detroit, Michigan) ist ein US-amerikanischer Schriftsteller. Zwei seiner Bücher habe ich gelesen, dieses noch nicht, aber ich freue mich darauf. “It’s heavy stuff, but Eugenides distinguishes himself from too many novelists who seem to think a somber tone equates to a serious purpose. The Marriage Plot is fun to read and ultimately affirming.” (Patrick Condon, San Francisco Chronicle) (735 Rezensionen / 3,4 Sterne), 417 Seiten noch günstig?
