Incidental Inventions by Elena Ferrante

The brilliant author of My Brilliant Friend wrote these columns as part of a year-long collaboration with The Guardian. She tackles fear, storytelling, laughter, daughters, friends, lies, creativity, jealousy, and more with her imaginative insight and incomparable prose, here translated by Ann Goldstein, as is most of her work. Highly recommended.
