I think of it in connection with The Corrections because I think they may have been published around the same time. I liked Middlesex better than The Corrections.

A lot of people felt like The Corrections was disappointing or a drudge to read because the characters weren't very sympathetic. I felt that way about Confederacy of Dunces, less so about The Corrections (which I liked), and not at all about Middlesex.
