Krátky popis
A New York Times Book ReviewNotable Book Finalist for the Pulitzer
Prize for Fiction Longlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction ",An
addictive, sprawling epic, I wolfed it down.",--Miranda July,
author of The First Bad Manand It Chooses You ",Easily the funniest
book I've read this year.", --GQ A portrait of the artist as a
young woman. A novel about not just discovering but inventing
oneself. The year is 1995, and email is new. Selin, the daughter of
Turkish immigrants, arrives for her freshman year at Harvard. She
signs up for classes in subjects she has never heard of, befriends
her charismatic and worldly Serbian classmate, Svetlana, and,
almost by accident, begins corresponding with Ivan, an older
mathematics student from Hungary. Selin may have barely spoken to
Ivan, but with each email they exchange, the act of writing seems
to take on new and increasingly mysterious meanings. At the end of
the school year, Ivan goes to Budapest for the summer, and Selin
heads to the Hungarian countryside, to teach English in a program
run by one of Ivan's friends. On the way, she spends two weeks
visiting Paris with Svetlana. Selin's summer in Europe does not
resonate with anything she has previously heard about the typical
experiences of American college students, or indeed of any other
kinds of people. For Selin, this is a journey further inside
herself: a coming to grips with the ineffable and exhilarating
confusion of first love, and with the growing consciousness that
she is doomed to become a writer. With superlative emotional and
intellectual sensitivity, mordant wit, and pitch-perfect style,
Batuman dramatizes the uncertainty of life on the cusp of
adulthood. Her prose is a rare and inimitable combination of
tenderness and wisdom, its logic as natural and inscrutable as that
of memory itself. The Idiotis a heroic yet self-effacing reckoning
with the terror and joy of becoming a person in a world that is as
intoxicating as it is disquieting. Batuman's fiction is unguarded
against both life's affronts and its beauty--and has at its command
the complete range of thinking and feeling which they entail. Named
