DESCRIPTION:The Idiot by Elif Batuman\nThe year is 1995\, and email is new.
  Selin\, the daughter of Turkish immigrants\, arrives for her freshman yea
 r at Harvard. She signs up for classes in subjects she has never heard of\
 , befriends her charismatic and worldly Serbian classmate\, Svetlana\, and
 \, almost by accident\, begins corresponding with Ivan\, an older mathemat
 ics student from Hungary. Selin may have barely spoken to Ivan\, but with 
 each email they exchange\, the act of writing seems to take on new and inc
 reasingly mysterious meanings. \n \nAt the end of the school year\, Ivan
  goes to Budapest for the summer\, and Selin heads to the Hungarian countr
 yside\, to teach English in a program run by one of Ivan's friends. On the
  way\, she spends two weeks visiting Paris with Svetlana. Selin's summer 
 in Europe does not resonate with anything she has previously heard about 
 the typical experiences of American college students\, or indeed of any ot
 her kinds of people. For Selin\, this is 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 w
 riter.\nFirst United Church\, Waterloo is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom
  meeting.\nTime: April 25\, 2026 09:30 AM Eastern Time (US and Canada)\nJo
