PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Zeus and Hera were brother and sister, too, of course. Middlesex begins as a kind of fairy tale. The idea was to have the book recapitulate the DNA of the Novel. Therefore, it begins with epic events and becomes, in its second half, more modern, psychological, and realist. The incest happens in the mythic, fabulist portions of the novel. It doesn’t possess the realism that might make it offensive. So, yes, you’re right. I was trying to manage this scandalous material, to handle it lightly.-Eugenides, The Paris Review

"Parents are supposed to pass down physical traits to their children, but it's my belief that all sorts of other things get passed down, too: motifs, scenarios, even fates.' -109, Middlesex

'All I know is this: despite my androgenized brain, there's an innate feminine circularity in the story I have to tell. In any genetic history. I'm the final clause in a periodic sentence, and that sentence begins a long time ago, in another language, and you have to read it from beginning to get to the end, which is my arrival' -20, Middlesex

The whole language of writing for me is finding out what you don't want to know, what you don't want to find out. But something forces you to anyway.

'...If some day or night a [supernatural being were to] say to you: '[Your] life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live [over & over]; and there will be nothing new in it, but every pain and every joy and every thought and sigh ... will ... return to you, all in the same ... sequence - even this spider and this moonlight between the trees, and even this moment and I myself."
-from Nietzsche's 'The Gay Science'
QUESTION: WHAT WOULD BE YOUR REACTION?
QUESTION: HOW COULD YOU ENDURE IT?

Would you ... curse the demon who spoke thus?... Or [...could you] crave nothing more fervently than this ultimate eternal confirmation and seal?
To endure the idea of the recurrence one needs: freedom from morality; new means against the fact of pain (pain conceived as a tool, as the father of pleasure...); the enjoyment of all kinds of uncertainty, experimentalism, as a counterweight to this extreme fatalism; abolition of the concept of necessity; abolition of the "will"; abolition of "knowledge-in-itself."
-from Nietzsche's 'The Will to Power'
