The Neapolitan Novels

“I imagine most novel-lovers have probably already taken a crack at Ferrante. But it's always a good time to spend 3 months reading (or rereading) the epic of Lila and Lenu.”

“as good as they say. Ferrante has a way of illustrating how people actually are in real life that is so subtle and almost painful in its accuracy. also slightly related: it gives me so much hope that her translator, Ann Goldstein, acquired Italian as a second language, how cool is that”
