    "When it comes to love, there are a million theories to explain it. But when it comes to love stories, things are simpler. A love story can never be about full possession. Love stories depend on disappointment, on unequal births and feuding families, on matrimonial boredom and at least one cold heart. Love stories, nearly without exception, give love a bad name . . . .It is perhaps only in reading a love story (or in writing one) that we can simultaneously partake of the ecstasy and agony of being in love without paying a crippling emotional price. I offer this book, then, as a cure for lovesickness and an antidote to adultery. Read these love stories in the safety of your single bed. Let everybody else suffer."?Jeffrey Eugenides, from the introduction to My Mistress's Sparrow Is DeadAll proceeds from My Mistress's Sparrow is Dead will go directly to fund the free youth writing programs offered by 826 Chicago. 826 Chicago is part of the network of seven writing centers across the United States affiliated with 826 National, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting students ages 6 to 18 with their creative and expository writing skills, and to helping teachers inspire their students to write.

    Eugenides Debütroman über ein erschütterndes Familiendrama: Die fünf Lisbon-Schwestern wachsen gut behütet in einer Mittelstandsfamilie in einer Vorstadt im Norden der USA auf. Doch als sich die Jüngste aus dem Fenster stürzt und ihre Schwestern sich innerhalb eines Jahres ebenfalls eine nach der anderen umbringen, ist nichts mehr, wie es mal war. Erzählt aus der Perspektive der Nachbarjungen steht nicht so sehr die Frage nach den Motiven der Mädchen im Vordergrund, sondern der Umgang der Hinterbliebenen mit den Vorfällen.Jeffrey Eugenides ist ein US-amerikanischer Schriftseller, der 1960 in Detroit, Michigan, geboren wurde. Er studierte Englisch und Creative Writing und veröffentlichte 1999 seinen ersten Roman „Die Selbstmord-Schwestern", der von Sofia Coppola verfilmt wurde. 2003 erhielt er den Pulitzer-Preis sowie den „Welt"-Literaturpreis für seinen Bestseller „Middlesex".
