Description
The Idiot is a poignant and introspective novel about self-discovery and growth. In 1995, Selin, a young woman from Turkish immigrant parents, begins her freshman year at Harvard, navigating unfamiliar subjects, friendships, and the thrill of email.
As she exchanges emails with Ivan, an older mathematics student from Hungary, Selin finds herself drawn into a world of intellectual curiosity and first love. Her summer in Europe, spent teaching English in Budapest and visiting Paris with her friend Svetlana, becomes a journey of self-exploration, as she grapples with the uncertainty of adulthood.
With remarkable emotional sensitivity and intellectual depth, Elif Batuman crafts a story that is both deeply personal and universally relatable. Her prose is a masterful blend of tenderness and wisdom, capturing the complexities and contradictions of life on the cusp of adulthood.
