The John Adams Institute still has a couple great events left before 2011 draws to a close. Coming up on 15 December, they're hosting Jeffrey Eugenides. Here's their intro:

Jeffrey Eugenides is one of America's greatest living novelists. If that isn't so apparent, it may be because he only produces a new book every nine years. His first novel, The Virgin Suicides, about five girls who commit suicide in the suburbs of Detroit, electrified critics and readers alike. His second, Middlesex, about the travails of a Greek-American hermaphrodite, won the Pulitzer Prize. His new book, The Marriage Plot, is a classic love triangle and, in the words of Kirkus Reviews, "a stunning novel--erudite, compassionate and penetrating in its analysis of love relationships." Join us for an evening with a modern master.

The event takes place on 15 December 2011 at the Singelkerk, located at Singel 452. The moderator is Tim Overdiek from NOS Radio 1. You can buy tickets online at the John Adams Institute website.
