HBO Developing Hermaphrodite Series MIDDLESEX, Based On The Pulitzer/Oprah Club Novel By That VIRGIN SUICIDES Guy!!
I am – Hercules!!
“Middlesex,” the novel by Jeffrey Eugenides (“The Virgin Suicides”) that won both a Pulitzer Prize and a slot in Oprah’s Book Club, has been optioned by HBO, which hopes to turn it into an hourlong series.
As best I can piece together, the book is about an inbred Turkish-American hermaphrodite in Detroit whose grandparents were brother and sister.
The book will be adapted by screenwriter David Marguiles (the HBO TV-movie “Dinner With Friends”), who produces with Rita Wilson (“My Big Fat Greek Wedding,” “Mamma Mia!”). Wilson is married to Tom Hanks, who produces “Big Love” and loads of miniseries for HBO.
