La trama nupcial - Jeffrey Eugenides - (Análisis integral y 2 parrafos)

La trama nupcial de Jeffrey Eugenides se erige como una obra maestra de la literatura contemporánea, una reimaginación audaz de la novela romántica que fusiona la intensidad emocional de Austen y Eliot con la ironía y la complejidad del siglo XXI. A través del triángulo amoroso de Madeleine, Leonard, y Mitchell, Eugenides explora las contradicciones del amor, la enfermedad mental, y la transición a la adultez en la América de los 80, un periodo de fervor intelectual y cambio social. Su prosa, elegante y rica en matices, captura tanto la efervescencia de la juventud como el peso de las decisiones que definen una vida. Aunque algunos critiquen su ambición frente a la monumental Middlesex, la novela brilla por su empatía y su capacidad de transformar un tropo victoriano en una meditación moderna sobre la libertad y la renuncia. Como una carta de amor a la literatura y a la imperfección humana, La trama nupcial invita al lector a reflexionar sobre lo que significa amar en un mundo donde los finales felices son tan esquivos como necesarios. Sumérgete en esta obra para descubrir una narrativa que, como los libros de Madeleine, es a la vez un refugio y un desafío, un espejo de nuestras propias búsquedas y desilusiones.AVISO LEGAL: Los cuentos, poemas, fragmentos de novelas, ensayos y todo contenido literario que aparece en Crónicas Lunares di Sun podrían estar protegidos por derecho de autor (copyright).

We couldn't do a season on "the marriage plot" in literature without reading the Jeffrey Eugenides novel that's literally titled The Marriage Plot. Guest Lucas Mann (author, most recently, of the essay collected Attachments, and co-owner of Riffraff Bookstore and Bar in Providence, Rhode Island) joins us to discuss Eugenides' novel, which contains a "marriage plot" while also being a kind of meta-commentary on marriage plots. Plus: Is the book's clinically depressed, bandana-wearing character meant to be David Foster Wallace? How does Lucas employ "power poses" to sell books? And is there anything worse than a cash-bar wedding? You can find more info about Lucas, including where to read his work and how to buy his books, at his website: https://www.lucasmann.com/ If you like the podcast, and would like more of it in your life--two bonus episodes each and every month--consider chipping in $5 to our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/BookFight Note: This episode is the 7th of 8 in our Marriage Plot season (not that you need to listen to them in order!).

The second novel in the Queen's Thief series. Forsaken by the gods and left to his own devices, Eugenides, Royal Thief of Eddis, summons all his wit and wiles in an attempt to conquer the rival queen of Attolia. Revenge... When Eugenides, the Thief of Eddis, stole Hamiathes' Gift, the queen of Attolia lost more than a mythical relic. She lost face. Everyone knew that Eugenides had outwitted and escaped her. To restore her reputation and reassert her power, the queen of Attolia will go to any length and accept any help that is offered...she will risk her country to execute the perfect revenge. ...but... Eugenides can steal anything. And he taunts the queen of Attolia, moving through her strongholds seemingly at will. So Attolia waits, secure in the knowledge that the Thief will slip, that he will haunt her palace one too many times. ...at what price? When Eugenides finds his small mountain country at war with Attolia, he must steal a man, he must steal a queen, he must steal peace. But his greatest triumph—and his greatest loss—comes in capturing something that the queen of Attolia thought she had sacrificed long ago....

LƯỠNG GIỚI (Middlesex), cuốn tiểu thuyết xuất sắc đạt giải Pulitzer danh giá của tác giả Jeffrey Eugenides, là một bildungsroman, lấy một nhân vật như vậy, Callie Stephanides, làm tâm điểm. Eugenides mất 9 năm để viết về một cuộc phiêu lưu của một chiếc gene gây đột biến, nơi ông kể nhiều câu chuyện của một gia đình nhiều thế hệ, trải từ Á sang Mỹ, qua 3 thế hệ với giấc mơ Mỹ, qua một cuộc hỏa hoạn thiêu rụi một thành phố, qua đại công xưởng lắp ghép và chế tạo xe ô tô của Ford, qua cuộc bạo loạn ở Detroit… Không có gì phải bàn cãi, khi giới phê bình coi LƯỠNG GIỚI là một trong những tiểu thuyết vĩ đại của văn học Mỹ.

Welcome To My Vagina

In this episode Jessy and Rebekah review a menstrual cup that allows you to have sex with the partner of your choosing while you’re on your period without ruining anyone’s sheets! And then WTMV welcomes their first guest, Lucy Frank! Lucy is about to graduate from Duke School of Nursing and visited WTMV to talk about appropriate use of pronouns in a medical scenario and, really, in life. And then Jessy, Rebekah and Lucy played a celebrity themed drinking game with T-Rex arms? You’ll have to listen for details. 0:39: Jessy and Rebekah (but mostly Jessy) offer a completely unpaid review of SoftCup. It’s great. We (mostly) love SoftCup. But, Dear SoftCup, please sponsor our podcast. Okay thank you. 7:40: Rebekah’s sister Lucy comes to WTMV to talk about the appropriate use of pronouns in the world but, more specifically, in a medical context (FYI: she’s a nurse). Welcome to Welcome to My Vagina, Lucy! 15:30: Watch Jessy’s amazing video called “Intersex Basics.” It’s all about the fact that gender exists on a spectrum and how people oversimply everything to make it easier to fit those they interact with into neat little boxes. But we all know that life is never easily categorized. People are complicated and that is what makes us amazing. So watch her video.  Also, read Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides. Eugenides wrote this book because he was dissatisfied with the way literature and history dealt with intersex anatomy and emotions. Read it and then let’s talk about it. 17:30: Say it with us: being transgender is not a problem. 19:20: “Vanessa Goes to the Doctor.” This video is EVERYTHING. 23:30: Here is a link to Duson Spectrum, the Gay-Straight Alliance at Duke School of Nursing. 24:30: Here is a little information about “Let’s Talk About Sex!” It’s an interactive workshop for healthcare providers and students to get used to, you guessed it, talking about sex! All in an effort to make it more comfortable for the provider as well as the patient. 27:00: Ethan Cicero is awesome. He wrote an incredible, and deeply troubling, article about the barriers to care for transgender people that everyone should read. Seriously. Read it. His efforts have shed much needed light on this issue and are hopefully leading to higher educational standards across the medical community. 29:50: Lucy gives us some really wild statistic about victims of sex trafficking. It’s horrible. We all have to do better but health care providers are oftentimes the only people outside sex trafficking rings that come in contact with victims. Contact us! Watch us! Love us!
