I congratulate those who (for many good reasons) choose not to bring children into this world. I am 62. I decided not to father any children at 18 (when I was living in Ankara, Turkey). I am proud that I remained vocal about my opposition to human population growth. (I hope to plant many trees, edible plants, and enable whales, elephants, tigers, pandas, cheetahs, ... to propagate.)
Always a pleasure listening to Elif Batuman speak! And Merve Emre as well
Elif Batuman is mentioning Hester Albachs literary biography of ‘Nadja’ published by Actes-Sud in 2009: Léona, héroïne du surréalisme.
Wonderful interview, thank you!

Her face reminds me of Olivia Rodrigo
An absolute nonesense of a book.
