Can you recommend some of Eugenides' short stories?

Sure. 'The Virgin Suicides' is one of his well - known works. It's a rather poignant story about a group of sisters. Another one is ' Middlesex ', which also delves deep into the lives of its characters.

Identity is also a big theme. His characters often struggle with who they are, like in 'The Virgin Suicides' where the sisters seem to be trying to define themselves in a world that has certain expectations of them. Eugenides also delves into themes of loss and grief, showing how these emotions can shape a person's life and relationships. His stories are rich in exploring the human psyche and how different experiences mold us into who we are.

One common theme is identity. His characters often struggle to figure out who they are in different contexts, like in relationships or within their families. Another theme could be love, but not in a simple, romantic way. It's often complex and intertwined with other aspects of life such as social expectations.
