by Elena Ferrante is a collection of essays, originally intended as lectures before the pandemic intervened, in which the acclaimed Italian writer explores her craft and gives readers a glimpse into her mind and her process. This is particularly interesting because ‘Elena Ferrante’ is a pseudonym and the real identity of the author of My Brilliant Friend and The Lying Life of Adults remains open to debate. Fans of Ferrante’s work will be intrigued. (Non-Fiction)
