  "New Yorkers always act as though Chicago is in the icy zone and they are in the tropical zone," said the novelist Jeffrey Eugenides when I reached him by phone in New York."They act like Chicago is Nome, Alaska.The way they act about Chicago weather is the way they act about the city in general.They want to dismiss it."
  
  Eugenides, the author of "The Virgin Suicides" and "Middlesex," has been teaching at Princeton University in New Jersey since last fall, but he spent three recent winters in Chicago.Having once heard him bemoan how New Yorkers dis Chicago weather, I phoned him to corroborate my complaint.
  
  When he moved to Chicago, he said, he took to "obsessively" comparing the weather with New York's in hopes of proving New Yorkers wrong.
  
  "I've had this conversation numerous times," he said.

  Review of My Mistress's Sparrow is Dead, Jeffrey Eugenides
  
  I'd buy any book with Jeffrey Eugenides' name on the cover.I've never met him, but I think he is a rare and remarkable writer.And here he is, not writing himself for once, but editing an impressive - and disconcerting - anthology of love stories, My Mistress's Sparrow is Dead.
  
  Love is, of course, extremely underfoot at this time of year.On Valentine's Day, to my annual delight, my local M&S will disgorge numbers of men, all clutching identical bunches of flawless crimson roses, and all wearing the expression of dogs invited to sit - just this once - on the forbidden sofa: defiant, complacent and nervous.
  
  In my view, most of them would be better off ditching the roses and taking this book along to the obligatory candlelit dinner for two instead.
  
  Eugenides has written a marvellous little essay on the love story to introduce his choices.It all began, he says, in a Michigan schoolroom, when he was 15; a plainly inspired Latin teacher made the class understand that two words in Catullus's frustrated lament that his mistress's dead pet sparrow still meant more to her than he did, sounded like birdsong.And not just birdsong, but elegiac birdsong, the first taste of the emotional power that exists, in life, in something that one simply cannot have.And that power is never more supreme than when applied to love.
  
  Romantic love, the stuff of candles and roses and rings, is not, Eugenides maintains, the province of love stories."Love stories," he says boldly, "nearly without exception, give love a bad name".The tension, the energy, the dark compulsion of a really good love story, don't come from having a home on the hill for just we two, but from not being able to have it.The memorable love story thrives on yearning and unrequited passion, on struggle and injustice and inequality, on adoreds and adorers never quite getting it together.And also, crucially, on love's own caprice and transience. In Japan, the spring custom is to make a rapturous ceremony of Sakura, cherry blossom time.This is partly because the blossom is both lavish and ravishing, but also because it is fragile and perishable, so that its beauty is haunted by its imminent fading.So it is with the love in a good love story - the eros, Eugenides insists, not the agape - because "say what you want about love: death will finish it".
  ...
  Perhaps, in this difficult and intense genre of the short story, the love story, as defined by Eugenides, has something of the same effect on writers.

  Jeffrey Eugenides
  
  Jeffrey Eugenides is an American Pulitzer-Prize-winning novelist and short story writer whose fiction has appeared in the New Yorker, The Yale Review, The Paris Review, Best American Short Stories, The Gettysburg Review, and Granta's 'Best of Young American Novelists'.
  
  At an earlier time in his life, Eugenides considered becoming a priest or a monk, and even worked alongside Mother Theresa in India for one week during a travelling break from college.He says about this period in his life, 'I was so unformed in my personality and was trying on different personas; being a saint was a bit tight on my shoulders, though.At 20 you can really change your philosophy of the world by reading a single book, or by one chance meeting.'
  
  Eugenides's first book, The Virgin Suicides, was published to great acclaim in 1993.It tells the story of five sisters who all commit suicide in the same year.Trying to fathom events two decades later, one of the boys who used to spy on them recreates the fateful year, from the youngest's plunge to her own death, to the ultimate field day of the national press.Eugenides received his inspiration for the book when his nephew's babysitter revealed to him that she and all her siblings had attempted suicide.
  ...
  Middlesex earned Eugenides the Pulitzer Prize in 2003.
