The Anthropologists is on the list of favorite books of 2024. Written by Ayesegal Savas, this book is on Barack Obama's favorite books of 2024. I read it and I just don't see the appeal. The book is a series of discussions or outings by an immigrant couple living in New York City. The couple tries to see their neighborhood and local park as if they were anthropologists. They have one friend in city but few others. They keep in close contact with their parents, siblings, and grandparents back home. They spend years looking for a larger apartment. What frustrated me is that nothing really happened in the story. The married couple spend more time making fun of their friends and acquaintances than anything else. This book was more like a short story instead of a novel in my opinion.
