Description

Elif Batuman reading from her new book Either/Or Join us for ELIF BATUMAN in conversation about her highly anticipated new book Either/Or. The novel is a sequel to The Idiot, which was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and continues her beloved protagonist Selin’s quest for self-knowledge, as she travels abroad and tests the limits of her newfound adulthood. In its starred review of Either/Or, Publishers Weekly wrote, “Effervescent . . . Observant, defiant, and newly on antidepressants, Selin approaches the mystery of human relations with a beginner’s naivete and sharp intelligence . . . Batuman’s light touch and humor are brought to bear on serious questions . . . As accomplished as The Idiot was, this improves upon it, and Batuman’s already sharp chops as a novelist come across as even more refined in these pages. Readers will be enraptured.” Due to ongoing COVID concerns and customer safety considerations, we will be limiting the number of attendees at our in-store events.
