A review by laineyg
The Idiot by Elif Batuman

4.0

spent the whole second half of this dreading the end cause I kept thinking “this is gonna be some fade to black slice of life stream of consciousness vaguely unsatisfying non-ending isn’t it…” and it was indeed a fade to black slice of life stream of consciousness vaguely unsatisfying non-ending. which fits the tone of the book but unfortunately I’m a bit toxic and wanted them to end up together
