Elif Batuman will be reading from her new book The Possessed, at McNally Jackson Books in New York City on Monday, March 15. She will also be at Brookline Booksmith in Boston on the 17th. I have not yet read The Possessed, though I have read a couple of the essays collected therein. The first essay in the book, "Babel in California", originally appeared in N+1 magazine back when I used to buy N+1. The piece is poignant, hilarious, and just generally astounding. You can read an interview about the book with Alexandra Alter at The Wall Street Journal online. Batuman's "The murder of Leo Tolstoy: A forensic investigation" appeared in Harper's in February 2009. You can even read it for free!
