"It wasn't conscious, but I guess that one book is the reaction to the other. The first is so imprisoned in a male point-of-view, and the second is a point-of-view that can go anywhere it wants"

About this Quote

This quote by Jeffrey Eugenides is describing two books he has written. The initial publication is composed from a male point-of-view, while the second publication is written from an extra open point-of-view. Eugenides recommends that the second book was written as a reaction to the very first, as it is not restricted to a single point-of-view. This could be interpreted as a way of expressing the idea that the second publication is a lot more open-minded and modern than the initial. Eugenides is suggesting that the second book is much more liberated as well as can explore a larger series of subjects and viewpoints than the first. This might be seen as a way of sharing the suggestion that the second publication is a lot more modern and unbiased than the first. Inevitably, this quote is a reflection of Eugenides' idea that publications ought to be open to discovering a selection of point of views as well as subjects, as opposed to being constrained to a solitary point-of-view.
