From www.broadcastingcable.com:
HBO has optioned Jeffrey Eugenides’ Pulitzer Prize-winning novel Middlesex and is developing a one-hour drama series based on the 2002 book.
Actor-producer Rita Wilson is executive producing, along with the project’s writer Donald Margulies.
This is exciting. Middlesex is one of my favorite books EVER. If you haven’t aleady, read it now. If you have read it, read it again. I feel confident that HBO will do the story justice. Can’t wait for more details!

Funny. I was watching the Virgin Suicides last night wondering why Middlesex hadn’t been produced as a film yet. I guess that question is answered.
Should be a good show.
