gift for making the universe seem  somehow  like the benevolent and witty literary seminar you
wish it were . . .This novel wins you over in a million micro-observations.” — The New York
Times    “Batuman is a genius  rendering human folly at its most colorful and borderline
surreal.” — Vogue   From the acclaimed and bestselling author of The Idiot   the continuation
of beloved protagonist Selin’s quest for self-knowledge  as she travels abroad and tests the
limits of her newfound adulthood   Selin is the luckiest person in her family: the only one who

she has to make it count. The first order of business: to figure out the meaning of everything

the universal importance of parties  alcohol  and sex  and resolves to execute them in
practice—no matter what the cost. Next on the list: international travel.  Unfolding with the
propulsive logic and intensity of youth  Either Or is a landmark novel by one of our most
brilliant writers. Hilarious  revelatory  and unforgettable  its gripping narrative will
confront you with searching questions that persist long after the last page.
