太everyday mundane了 就算是harvard也看不下去
评分长着流行小说的脸(封面),其实是90年代哈佛大学生回忆录?文学,异乡,语言。她如此笃信言语的力量,拒绝将自身交付给真实的感觉。读《你一生的故事》勾起的对语言学的兴趣又被浇灭,语言学果然是个大坑嘛…
评分听作者本人读的有声书。照理说一个少女在90年代Havard的琐碎日常应该乏善可陈,没想到一路兴致勃勃地都听得很起劲,作者的声音有点天真无辜。太过直白的困惑和仿佛不自知的幽默感竟然令人着迷。Everyone makes up narratives about their own lives. The obstacles to understanding are enormous. Goodbye language, goodbye Selin and Ivan.
评分Language is the greatest firewall.
评分很细碎的大学生活,室友、选课、家教、志愿活动等等,当然还有少不了的暗恋情节。文笔诙谐,读来忍俊不禁。Selin上俄语课,和话痨Svetlana交换意见,和Ivan通过邮件交流思想,去匈牙利教当地人英语…所有的主要情节都与「语言」这个母题有关,但故事发展到最后的高潮,Selin和Ivan的深夜交谈,暴露了「语言」的无力。「I hadn't learned what I wanted to about how language worked. I hadn't learned anything at all.」Selin透过邮件暗恋的Ivan在现实生活中不能和她在一起,屏幕的对话再怎么深刻,看似delicate的关系实际上脆弱无比。此外还很有意思的一个侧面是大学生Selin作为一名女性的成长。
Elif Batuman has been a staff writer at The New Yorker since 2010. She is the author of The Possessed: Adventures with Russian Books and the People Who Read Them. The recipient of a Whiting Writers' Award, a Rona Jaffe Foundation Writers' Award, and a Paris Review Terry Southern Prize for Humor, she also holds a PhD in comparative literature from Stanford University. The Idiot is her first novel. She lives in Brooklyn, NY.
A portrait of the artist as a young woman. A novel about not just discovering but inventing oneself.
The year is 1995, and email is new. Selin, the daughter of Turkish immigrants, arrives for her freshman year at Harvard. She signs up for classes in subjects she has never heard of, befriends her charismatic and worldly Serbian classmate, Svetlana, and, almost by accident, begins corresponding with Ivan, an older mathematics student from Hungary. Selin may have barely spoken to Ivan, but with each email they exchange, the act of writing seems to take on new and increasingly mysterious meanings.
At the end of the school year, Ivan goes to Budapest for the summer, and Selin heads to the Hungarian countryside, to teach English in a program run by one of Ivan's friends. On the way, she spends two weeks visiting Paris with Svetlana. Selin's summer in Europe does not resonate with anything she has previously heard about the typical experiences of American college students, or indeed of any other kinds of people. For Selin, this is a journey further inside herself: a coming to grips with the ineffable and exhilarating confusion of first love, and with the growing consciousness that she is doomed to become a writer.
With superlative emotional and intellectual sensitivity, mordant wit, and pitch-perfect style, Batuman dramatizes the uncertainty of life on the cusp of adulthood. Her prose is a rare and inimitable combination of tenderness and wisdom; its logic as natural and inscrutable as that of memory itself. The Idiot is a heroic yet self-effacing reckoning with the terror and joy of becoming a person in a world that is as intoxicating as it is disquieting. Batuman's fiction is unguarded against both life's affronts and its beauty--and has at its command the complete range of thinking and feeling which they entail.

评分故事梗概非常简单:90年代,一位18岁刚入学的哈佛新生,断断续续写日记般记录她的大一生活,在平淡无奇的日子里思考文字语言的艺术性,真实生活,和爱。 如书的标题,主人公Selin觉得自己是傻子的原因来自她一直的迷惘:到底什么是真实?文字语言里包含的更深层次的思考,不同...
评分It kind of fell down when I went to the end, about Sonya’s journey in the Hungarian countryside. Nevertheless, it’s still a refreshing novel, and you hardly get tired of it. Some of Sonya’s feelings towards Ivan struck me with great resemblance. She seem...
