ⓘ About Elif Batuman

There are scanty adjectival phrases that can precisely and concisely describe Elif Batuman. As such, describing Batuman as, in this context, out-and-out creative is an understatement. Hereby, the bottom line is that whatever might be written about Batuman is the idiomatic tip of the idiomatic iceberg. Sans mincing words, meet Elif Batuman. Elif Batuman, an American national, is a woman of letters, scholar, and staff writer, all rolled into. Batuman is, surprisingly for a relatively younger person of her ilk, merely a tricenarian and was born on June 1977 in New York City, in the United States. Batuman, who resides in Brooklyn upon New York, is of Turkish descent. Her parents, both academics, hailed from Turkey but are currently domiciled in the United States.
