The Idiot by Elif Batuman

The Idiot by Elif Batuman

Selin arrives at Harvard in 1995, is handed an email address, and does not know what email is. She takes Russian, meets a Hungarian mathematician named Ivan in class, and begins a correspondence that consumes a year of her life.

Almost nothing happens. She follows him to Hungary to teach English in villages, waits for messages, and misunderstands nearly every social situation she enters. Batuman is extremely funny about the gap between an intelligent person's inner life and their competence, and Selin's literal-mindedness is the engine of the comedy.

A Pulitzer Prize finalist, and one of the best campus novels of recent decades.
