In this short book, Elena Ferrante shares with us her thoughts about her own "adventure of writing" as well as that of the authors who have marked her. It consists of three "lectures" and an essay, where the author of the "Neapolitan Novels" returns to her early writing years, recalling even further back to her school notebooks, the ongoing struggle that characterizes her to this day: always trying to remain within the framework while always longing to break it.
Elena Ferrante is here confessional, sometimes self-deprecating, as she repeatedly refers back to the thoughts and works of other creators in search of answers, such as Gaetano Stampa, Gertrude Stein, Emily Dickinson, Ingeborg Bachmann, and even Dante.
Through her own doubts and questions, Ferrante explores, with us, even broader fields of the art of writing, as well as of art in general.
