In My Life in Middlemarch, her unusual and deeply felt mashup of lit-crit, biography and memoir, Mead describes a long, complicated relationship with Middlemarch, and, by association, with its brilliant author, George Eliot. Her first time out with Middlemarch, at age 17, she found not only a way in, but the book came to serve as a touchstone that she sought out at critical moments in the years that followed. But then one day, when I was older and more discerning and less antsy, I tried again, and this time I was swept in. Buck and Go Ask Alice, found the novel difficult and dry. My teenage self, feeding heavily at the time on Pearl S. I have to admit that the first time I tried to read Middlemarch by George Eliot, I ended up putting it aside after only 20 pages. Meg Wolitzer's latest novel is The Interestings.
