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 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.
Elif Batuman has been a staff writer at The New Yorker since 2010. She is the author of The Possessed: Adventures with Russian Books and the People Who Read Them. The recipient of a Whiting Writers' Award, a Rona Jaffe Foundation Writers' Award, and a Paris Review Terry Southern Prize for Humor, she also holds a PhD in comparative literature from Stanford University. The Idiot is her first novel. She lives in Brooklyn, NY.
so much ideas and personality blended seamlessly into the narrative
评分陪Selin絮絮叨叨了这么久 竟然有一天真的结束了 今晚一气儿读完了一百多页 突然很失落 像是在做一场漫长的告别 这个学期开学的那段日子 每天读这本 就像在跟着她一起在Harvard走 一起上课 一起跟朋友唠嗑 一起暗恋 一起失眠 一起心痛着 有人嫌弃这本书没什么重点唠唠叨叨 可就是这些细枝末节的事情 才让人真的走进了她的生活 感觉她就像是你身边的某个少女 沉默寡言 可拥有自己的宇宙 爱情的part很少 可真的扎心 她和Ivan最后一晚的talk 第二天的告别 看得我心都碎了 每个人都有过这样的时刻 都有过这样把心交给别人 可最终得不到回应的时刻 这一切都太真实了 真的谢谢作者可以写出这样的作品

评分When you have power you write a novel for yourself. This is that kind of a novel.
It kind of fell down when I went to the end, about Sonya’s journey in the Hungarian countryside. Nevertheless, it’s still a refreshing novel, and you hardly get tired of it. Some of Sonya’s feelings towards Ivan struck me with great resemblance. She seem...
评分故事梗概非常简单:90年代,一位18岁刚入学的哈佛新生,断断续续写日记般记录她的大一生活,在平淡无奇的日子里思考文字语言的艺术性,真实生活,和爱。 如书的标题,主人公Selin觉得自己是傻子的原因来自她一直的迷惘:到底什么是真实?文字语言里包含的更深层次的思考,不同...
评分I said bye first, to be brave. I still thought bravery would be somehow rewarded." 一本完全没有想到自己会喜欢的书:絮絮叨叨,自传色彩明显,设定在Harvard——然而却一再从中看到一些逝去的片段,简直让人羞赧。 看完之后才意识到,其实阅读过程中一直在悬心期待一个ha...
