Either/Or

The beloved heroine Selin's journey for self-awareness continues as she travels overseas and pushes the boundaries of her newly discovered maturity in this novel from the critically acclaimed and best-selling author of The Idiot.

Being the only member of her family to be born in the United States and get accepted to Harvard, Selin is the luckiest person alive. Now, in her sophomore year of 1996, Selin is aware that she has to make an impression. Determining the significance of everything that transpired throughout the summer is the first task. How come Ivan, Selin's long-lost love interest, helped her get that job in the Hungarian countryside? What the heck was going on with all those other folks in the countryside of Hungary? Why is Selin suddenly being contacted by Ivan's strange ex-girlfriend? Positively, it has the sense of a captivating novel's storyline. However, why are insane, forsaken women included in so many novels? How can one live a life that is both fascinating and worthy of being written about, without turning into a mad, abandoned woman herself?

With the help of her literary course curriculum and her more experienced and self-assured friends, Selin comes to certain conclusions about the universal value of sex, drink, and parties and decides to put them into action, no matter the cost. Foreign travel is the next item on the list.

One of our greatest authors' classic novels, Either/Or, unfolds with the compelling logic and passion of adolescence. Its captivating story, which is hilarious, insightful, and fascinating, will leave you with thought-provoking questions long after you've turned the final page.
