I'd suggest _Middlesex_ (2002) by Jeffrey Eugenides. It's a sprawling
multi-generational epic novel, both an account of the (Greek)
immigrant experience and a personal story of a transgendered
individual. I can't see how it could be used in the classroom, but it
would be an excellent supplementary source for a student seeking a
(fictional) enrichment of classroom information in the psychology of
gender.
Great novel. Wikipedia tells me it won a Pulitzer Prize. No
indication there's a major motion picture on the way, although
Eugenides' earlier novel, _The Virgin Suicides_ was turned into a
successful one.
