JEFFREY EUGENIDES ("u-GEN-eh-dees") is the author of "The Virgin
Suicides" (paperback, Warner books) a gothic flavored novel
about five sisters who kill themselves. The book is set in
suburbia in the 1970s and is told in the voice of boys - now men
- who were obsessed by them. The book was critically acclaimed
when it was first published in 1993. It's now the subject of a
new movie. (THIS INTERVIEW CONTINUES INTO THE SECOND HALF OF THE
