Selin, the daughter of Turkish immigrants, arrives for her freshman year at Harvard where she signs up for classes in subjects she has never heard of, befriends her charismatic Serbian classmate, Svetlana, and, almost by accident, begins corresponding with Ivan, an older mathematics student. 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. When the school year ends, Ivan goes to Budapest and Selin heads to the Hungarian countryside. Her summer does not resonate with anything she has previously heard about the typical experiences of college students, but rather is the beginning of 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.]]></description><link>https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C2169241</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C2169241</guid><category><![CDATA[PAPERBACK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Batuman, Elif]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2169241126</comments><format>PAPERBACK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780143111061/MC.GIF&amp;client=chicagoplb&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Either/or]]></title><description><![CDATA["Selin is the luckiest person in her family: the only one who was born in America and got to go to Harvard.

La protagonista es Selin, hija de inmigrantes turcos apasionada por la literatura que acaba de llegar a Harvard decidida a convertirse en escritora. Acostumbrada a vivir a través de los libros, llega a la universidad sin manual de instrucciones: ¿cómo se hacen amigos? ¿Cómo se enamora uno? ¿Importan más las cosas cuando se viven que cuando se leen? Selin ve su vida como una narración más pero, ¿qué pasa cuando intentamos añadir otras personas a nuestra historia? Así empieza su relación con Ivan, un estudiante húngaro de matemáticas algo mayor que ella con quien comenzará a escribirse. Mediante el correo electrónico, crearán un mundo paralelo habitable (o una barrera de ficción tras la que esconderse) que rápidamente eclipsará todas sus otras relaciones. Duante el año que cubre esta novela de iniciación, la heroína de Batuman emplea un ingenio y una mordacidad entrañables para descubrirse y, sobre todo, inventarse ante el desafío que supone llegar a la edad adulta. Esta debut nominado al Pulitzer es una reflexión perdurable sobre la relación entre el arte y la vida, las palabras y el mundo real, las historias que nos contamos y las narrativas en las que quermos encajar.]]></description><link>https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C2224788</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C2224788</guid><category><![CDATA[PAPERBACK]]></category><category><![CDATA[spa]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Batuman, Elif]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2224788126</comments><format>PAPERBACK</format><subtitle/><language>spa</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9788439735854/MC.GIF&amp;client=chicagoplb&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
