Juliette Lewis: Jeffrey Eugenides. In: interviewmagazine.com. Crystal Ball Media, 24. September 2011, abgerufen am 13. Juni 2022 (amerikanisches Englisch): „My mother grew up extremely poor in the Depression with just her mother taking care of her. My father’s parents had immigrated from Greece, and my grandfather ran a bar and grill. So they were kind of lower-middle-class. My father became a businessman and did better and better throughout my childhood. I was the last of three boys, so by the time I came along, we were upper-middle-class, I’d say. We moved to Grosse Pointe, which is a fancy suburb, so I grew up not impoverished.“
