Summary	In 2020, Claire Luchette in O, The Oprah Magazine described the beloved Italian novelist, Elena Ferrante, as 'an oracle among authors'. Here, in these four crisp 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; she describes the perils of 'bad language' and suggests ways in which it has long excluded women's truth; she proposes a choral fusion of feminine talent as she brilliantly discourses on the work of Emily Dickinson, Gertrude Stein, Ingeborg Bachmann and many others. Here is a subtle yet candid book by 'one of the great novelists of our time' about adventures in literature, both in and out of the margins.
