* ''Literature/{{Middlesex}}'': After returning home from a sexualized production of the play ''The Minotaur'', and Desdemona and Lefty have sex, as do Lina and Zizmo. Desdemona -- who is actually HappilyMarried, but also quite old-school and doesn't feel comfortable admitting the play turned her on -- pretends to be asleep. Both pairs conceive a child that night. These circumstances of their conception are not particularly imprinted on either of the two babies. But this book is a GenerationalSaga, and years later, when those two babies grow up, marry each other, and have a child of their own, ''that kid'' sees reflections of himself in his parents' conception.
