The Possessed Adventures With Russian Books And The People Who Read Them Elif Batuman by Elif Batuman 9781921656644, 1921656646 instant download after payment.

The Possessed draws on Elif Batuman's articles in The New YorkerHarper's Magazine, and n+1 to tell the true story of one woman's intellectual & sentimental education & her many strange encounters with scholars devoted to classic Russian writers.

"Hilarious, wide-ranging, erudite, & memorable." — The New York Times Book Review

Roaming from Tashkent to San Francisco, this is the true story of one budding writer's strange encounters with the fanatics who are devoted - absurdly! melancholically! ecstatically! - to the Russian classics. Combining fresh readings of the great Russians from Gogol to Goncharov with the sad & funny stories of the lives they continue to influence, The Possessed introduces a brilliant & distinctive new voice: comic, humane, charming, poignant & completely, & unpretentiously, full of an infectious love for literature.

"Wildly original, creatively rambling... the funniest book I've read in a long time: its deadpan, dry humour & its accumulation of absurdities will leave you rolling on your floor with laughter." — The Times

Elif Batuman has been a staff writer at the New Yorker since 2010. The recipient of a Whiting Writers' Award, a Rona Jaffe Foundation Writers' Award, & a Paris Review Terry Southern Prize for Humour, she also holds a PhD in comparative literature from Stanford University. Her novel, The Idiot, was published in 2017.
