What do you mean? The prose is in lower language or the characters speak in sci-fi jive?

Read it when it first came out. Decent but nothing mind blowing.

Wt this book is popular. You wanna buy my first edition of it? Virgin suicides is the shit too. My gf recommended middlesex to me kek
Stumbled on this using Goodreads recommendation engine, pretty interesting.

I hardly ever see James Baldwin mentioned here in general
