<p>A tall, slim, fastidious-looking man with a high, domed forehead and a moustache and goatee that lends him a distinctly Mephistophelean air, Jeffrey Eugenides has written just two books in the past 15 years. The first, The Virgin Suicides, a darkly comic fable of five suburban sisters who kill themselves, published in 1993, has sold more than a million copies, but also is said to hold the distinction of being the most shoplifted book of modern times. ‘It’s my most famous accolade,’ Eugenides laughs, ‘although Paul Auster claims one of his books is the most shoplifted. It’s one of those things authors argue about.’</p>

<p>This is an interesting article about Eugenides, currently teaching in the creative writing program at Princeton. Eugenides graduated from Brown and is one of the country’s brightest literary lights. More information about the creative writing program can be found here:</p>
