TBR - Il podcast sui libriEp 7 - L'idiota di Elif BatumanAffondando le mani nella letteratura russa (motivo per cui il titolo vi richiamerà quello di un romanzo ben più famoso), Elif Batuman racconta la storia di Selin a partire da un momento particolarmente delicato della sua vita, ovvero quello del passaggio dal liceo all'università. Si ritroverà inesorabilmente disorientata e per non soccombere all'entità di questo cambiamento si troverà costretta mettere in discussione qualsiasi cosa abbia imparato fino a dover padroneggiare un nuovo linguaggio che le permetta di continuare a comunicare con gli altri ma soprattutto con sé stessa. Per questo episodio abbiamo deciso di coinvolgere Francesca (Francesca's booktok su TikTok). Oltre a...2024-10-1931 min

Só se estraga uma estante48. Juventude, Beowulf e experiência de leituraVoltamos à modalidade “mixórdia de temáticas”!
Primeiro, a Ana recomenda ‘The Idiot’ (Elif Batuman, 2017), um livro que se desenrola maioritariamente em Harvard, onde a jovem Selin encontra dores de crescimento através da literatura russa e das suas experiências.
Depois, o Tomé recomenda o clássico Beowulf, um poema épico (ou será mesmo?), provavelmente do século IX, e de autor desconhecido, mas que serviu de inspiração para muitos escritores, nomeadamente Tolkien.
Na segunda parte, a Ana e o Tomé dissecam o termo “experiência de leitura”, a que frequentemente se alude nas críticas e re...2024-03-2858 min

The Novel TeaThe Secret History by Donna Tartt: aesthetics and paranoiaNeha and Shruti discuss The Secret History, a book that has gained a cult following in the last few decades - and as we discuss the book, we start to see why. We talk about the characters, the atmospheric setting, and how Tartt brilliantly creates and sustains tension. We also provide some background for the book's classical allusions, and share all our theories about the book's shocking climax. And as always, we provide recommendations in our Shelf Discovery segment for books to read next if you loved The Secret History, based on the aspect of the novel that you...2024-02-211h 13
Libros bajo el paraguasO lo uno o lo otro. Elif Batuman.En enero de 2024 fuimos a la universidad. El libro que leímos fue O lo uno o lo otro, de Elif Batuman. Nos impregnamos de la efervescencia intelectual, del intercambio de referencias literarias y compartimos textos y poemas de hace muchos siglos. Recorrimos el campus con una mirada perpleja ante los estudiantes que lo transitan, que optan por la ética o la estética y que se sienten igual de perdidos en ese universo aparentemente tan pequeño.2024-02-011h 23

It became such a popular and celebrated article that it would win the National Magazine Award for that year. Unfortunately, it was also based entirely on bullshit. Today's guest is Hannah Lane!

LA Review of BooksElif Batuman's "Either/Or"Novelist and New Yorker staff writer Elif Batuman joins Kate Wolf to discuss her latest book, Either/Or. A sequel to 2017's The Idiot, the novel follows Batuman’s protagonist Selin in her sophomore year at Harvard University in 1996. Endearingly sincere in her efforts to understand the world around her, Selin turns most often to the books she reads for her literature major to do so, especially the titular work by Kierkegaard, which allows her to consider the merits of an aesthetic life versus an ethical one.

The Req Room with Mandy and MioThe Idiot (Elif Batuman)In this episode, Mandy and Mio discuss The Idiot by Elif Batuman, a semi-autobiographical novel about a young woman's freshman year at Harvard College and the summer she spends in rural Hungary. Set in the mid-90s, the novel relies heavily on Batuman's own college experiences, but it also raises the possibility that the story is being recounted by an older, certainly wiser narrator. Looking back at their own college experiences, Mandy and Mio wonder if one can ever look back without feeling too cynical about the person they used to be.

As he talks about Scholem's life, from his close friendship with Walter Benjamin to his exodus from Europe, to his history excavations of Judaica that were motivated by a desire to enliven contemporary Jewish life - it becomes apparent that Prochnik sees something of his own quest for meaning in Scholem's unique path. Also, Elif Batuman returns to recommend Hanya Yanagihara' s The People in the Trees.2017-04-1437 min
