“This is my last column, after a year that has scared and inspired me.”
With these words, Elena Ferrante, the bestselling author of My Brilliant Friend, bid farewell to her year-long collaboration with the Guardian. For a full year she penned short pieces, the subjects of which were suggested by editors at the Guardian, turning the writing process into a kind of prolonged interlocution; the subjects ranged from first love to climate change, from enmity among women to the adaptation of her novels to film and TV. As she said in her final column: “I have written as an author of novels, taking on matters that are important to me and that—if I have the will and the time—I’d like to develop within real narrative mechanisms.”
Here, then, are the seeds of possible future novels, the ruminations of an internationally beloved author, and the abiding preoccupations of a writer who has been called “one of the great novelists of our time” (the New York Times). Gathered together for the first time in a beautiful gift edition and accompanied by an entirely new introduction written by Elena Ferrante and Andrea Ucini’s intelligent, witty, and beautiful illustrations, this is a must for all Ferrante fans.

"Not sleeping took away the desire to live."看到这句心里哗哗流泪。 不过每个话题都是轻轻一带，还是浅了。

有些失望，可能因为是专栏文章的缘故，有点像被deadline逼着写出来的

一个没有面孔的作家，在卫报开专栏，谈论女权，失眠和文学。每篇都很短，在书店站一会就看完了。和那不勒斯三部曲一样，作者并没有深刻的见解，没有秘密，没有风格，一切都平平常常，直到读者忽然意识到有多少平凡的瞬间被她记录，她只有一双眼睛，一支笔，却像是有一座城市所有居民的记忆

最喜欢的意大利女作家本人的碎碎念合集。“It has happened. It happens. It will happen.” "It's an evil that tends to cancel out differences and impoverishes us all." 共勉之。
