Jeffrey Eugenides's third full-length fiction begins life as a gleefully knowing campus novel, set at Rhode Island's Brown University in the early 1980s. It represents the wholesale re-creation of a cultural moment, one whose distance from the present is just enough to give the narrative the faded character of a shoebox of old Polaroids. The story it tells, of a beautiful young woman and her two suitors, consciously echoes its Victorian-era forebears.
