Über das Buch

The new novel from the bestselling author of The Idiot follows one young woman's quest for self-knowledge, as she travels abroad and tests the limits of her newfound adulthood.

'Elif Batuman is the queen of the campus novel... Enchanting' Sunday Times

SELIN IS THE LUCKIEST PERSON IN HER FAMILY:

The only one who was born in America and got to go to Harvard. Now it's her second year, and Selin knows she has to make it count. The first order of business: to figure out the meaning of everything that happened over the summer...

On the plus side, her life feels like the plot of an exciting novel. On the other hand, why do so many novels have crazy, abandoned women in them? And how does one live a life as interesting as a novel - a life worthy of becoming a novel - without turning into a crazy, abandoned woman oneself?

'Stupendous... Hilarious... Batuman is a genius' Vogue

    3.5 stars I want to thank Lydia for gifting me this book, after I was able to go on one of her Green Line Tours, which I found really insightful. The book is a collection of her articles, and if you ever did a tour with Lydia, you will probably be familiar with some of the stories in here (like I was). For other stories I felt like I needed some more knowledge on certain people, stories, and attacks. I still appreciate all the amazing work Lydia is doing! Two things that stood out to me the most were the parts about the city Barta'a and the Areas A, B and C in the Westbank. And this saying: "If Mohammed cannot come to the mountain, then the mountain will come to Mohammed" (page 79)

    I liked the book and some parts were very funny and/or relatable. Other parts felt quite hard and tiring to read - which didn't make them bad, but just less enjoyable
