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 Idiot is 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"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Women college students $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Turkish Americans $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Identity (Psychology) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Coming of age. 650 7 $a FICTION / Literary. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Coming of Age. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Contemporary Women. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Coming of age. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01763769 650 7 $a Identity (Psychology) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00966892 650 7 $a Turkish Americans. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01159396 650 7 $a Women college students. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01177452 650 1 $a Coming of age $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Psychological fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Bildungsromans. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Psychological fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726481 655 4 $a Bildungsromans. 655 4 $a Psychological fiction. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Batuman, Elif, 1977- author. $t Idiot $d New York City : Penguin Press, 2017 $z 9781101622513 $w (DLC) 2016036364 941 $a 33 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417013737.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314013910.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240305043918.0 952 $l BRPD251 $d 20240119014108.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20231102011016.0 952 $l BEPA251 $d 20231028011509.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012020136.0 952 $l YAPC771 $d 20220705012111.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20220602011139.0 952 $l CGPC482 $d 20220526010811.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220520010203.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722053843.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20200529011403.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110071217.0 952 $l D8PD522 $d 20191211012042.0 952 $l YWPD162 $d 20190817012226.0 952 $l AAPF906 $d 20190717033234.0 952 $l SCPC074 $d 20190417010836.0 952 $l VTPD454 $d 20190320011319.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006104151.0 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20180907030443.0 952 $l MMPE553 $d 20180907023904.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180127055253.0 952 $l VXPE964 $d 20180116081821.0 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20171215010403.0 952 $l AKPC906 $d 20171026011631.0 952 $l XSPE157 $d 20170819011254.0 952 $l VKPE334 $d 20170722010906.0 952 $l OOAX232 $d 20170518010311.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20170512010516.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170418122633.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20170412010953.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20170404011705.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CDAB97340DFB11E7B82A2BA8DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b JIWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
