The first collection of its kind to bring together critical essays on Elena Ferrante's writings, this volume provides original research exploring a range of topics including women's relationships, gender, motherhood, and feminist theory, while Offering a multi-faceted approach to Ferrante's oeuvre through literary, cultural, and psychoanalytic approaches.
This book is the first dedicated volume of academic analysis on the monumental work of Elena Ferrante, Italy's most well-known contemporary writer. The Works of Elena Ferrante: Reconfiguring the Margins brings together the most exciting and innovative research on Ferrante's treatment of the intricacies of women's lives, relationships, struggles, and dilemmas to explore feminist theory in literature; questions of gender in twentieth-century Italy; and the psychological and material elements of marriage, motherhood, and divorce. Including an interview from Ann Goldstein, this volume goes beyond "Ferrante fever" to reveal the complexity and richness of a remarkable oeuvre.

If I knew for sure who Elena Ferrante is I might not be watching all these insightful interviews and reading the analyses of her works. I’m also starting to believe that she did write the Italian version of Little Women and perhaps this is where the American fascination with her book comes from
I really liked the ending of book 4, I found the finishing of Elenas obsessive anxiety over Lilas creation, that would out do hers, that would prove that all her work was for nothing, very emotional. What's more human, that we try to push away and dont want to admit, than jealous anxiety of a rival/friend. And in the end there was nothing, no big creation, no masterpiece, she worried so much about something that never existed.
And Lila after being tied down her entire, after never leaving Naples or her family, after spending her entire life woven into the neighbourhood, finally leaves, is finally free. The girl who was always afraid to stray too far 😢 I find this so good too
Lol the end was such shambles 😭
That’s why the writer remained anonymous. To be free to potentially offend.
What other book she write a part my brilliant friend? I appreciate the title
That woman that keeps taking the mic away from her mouth and saying um um um is very distracting I can’t keep up with her I can’t listen to what she’s saying because of her ums and hand waving
Si e scoperto chi e Elena ferrante ?
Man or women a live or dead ?
she is Italian or other
Non te ne fotte
This is just horrible. I am done after 10 minutes...
