“

This is one of those personality-packed novels which will no doubt be divisive. Packed with literary references, philosophical conundrums and the big questions of life, it’s a frequently hilarious and consistently engaging, unique book which I predict will be a big hitter this year.

'In 2018, Elif Batuman's witty campus novel, The Idiot, was a finalist for a Pulitzer Prize. . . . Now, Batuman returns with a sequel, Either/Or, that picks up during Selin's just-as-messy sophomore year. Expect a master course in snappy social observation.'
