Elif Batuman is a fabulous writer; I suggest anyone who likes this article to check out her stories on Gobekli Tepe and Turkish soccer hooligans as well.

She also just published a novel, The Idiot, and is promoting it. I haven't read the book, but I plan on seeing her give a reading this Tuesday in D.C.

I loved The Possessed, her essay collection, but that love does not extend to The Idiot: https://jakeseliger.com/2017/03/23/briefly-noted-the-idiot-e...
