Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides has won the 2003 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.
³It's a dynamic, baroque fable of transformation... What really sets ³Middlesex² apart is its warmth and generosity, its pervading air of historical optimism and inclusive, allusive cleverness... Novels as good as this aren't published very often.² - TIME OUT, London The Pulitzer Prize has been awarded by Columbia University since 1917.
