Here, in these four essays, Ferrante offers a rare look at the origins of her literary powers. She writes about her influences, her struggles, and her formation as both a reader and a writer.
What The Reviewers Say
In this and in other works, Ferrante reminds us what a gift anonymity can be to the reader. How refreshing to access words without fighting through the obscuring fog of a 'brand'.
The lucid, well-formed essays that make up In the Margins are written in an equally captivating voice.
... this collection of Ferrante’s lectures cannot be timelier in introducing Ferrante’s ideas and literary practices to a larger, global audience outside her immediate Italian-speaking following.
There’s a whiff of the graduate school seminar room, especially about the first three lectures here.
