I loved it and could have read a thousand more pages of it. It presented this almost moment-by-moment experience of life, in a way that I just felt Batuman had so much control. Theres so much wit and pleasure in her writing you feel very comfortable being in the world shes created. -- Emma Cline, author of THE GIRLS Elif Batuman is a writer whose byline creates a flutter of anticipation If a dominant mode of her generation is knowing introspection, she writes with a bewildered outrospection that delights in the bathetic and the absurd Its a novel about being young and stupid thats both wise and clever and its a treat. * Evening Standard * Elif Batuman surely has one of the best senses of humour in American letters. The pleasure she takes in observing the eccentricities of each of her characters makes for a really refreshing and unique bildungsroman; one more fascinated with what's going on around and outside the bewildered protagonist, than what s going on inside her. -- Sheila Heti, author of HOW SHOULD A PERSON BE? and TICKNOR Each paragraph is a small anthology of well-made observations Batuman has a rich sense of the details of human attachment and lust. -- Dwight Garner * New York Times * Beautifully written... a wry, funny coming-of-age story set at the dawn of email among a group of Harvard brainiacs too nerdy and self-involved to even think about sex, drugs and drinking. * Daily Mail *
