Blog #25

I am going to blog about what I have read in Middlesex so far. I am around page 100. I know that I should be farther but I am ok with this. As much as I like to read I find this book a very slow start. When you get to the part where Desdemona and Lefty are escaping Greece it is sometimes hard to understand. Once you get past that part it gets a lot better. I am at the part where they are coming to America and going to live with their cousin in Detroit. I find it weird that they decided to marry each other considering they are brother and sister. I don’t know how they could hide this from everybody. I also can’t believe their cousin can keep it a secret from her husband. I am eager to get to Calliope’s part. I can’t wait to finish the book. I like that this book explores queer theory and I find that interesting.

I found a song online call Not Looking Back. The chorus lyrics are basically about not looking back and what is done is done. I feel that this reflects Desdemona and Lefty.
I have tried and I’ve failed miserably
I’m not looking back
I’m free to decide
They’ve already wasted time
I’m not looking back
