( From a 2014 review of Those Who Leave Those Who Stay)įerrante writes with a ferocious, intimate urgency that is a celebration of anger. The Neapolitan novels are a tour de force. ( From a 2012 review of My Brilliant Friend)Ĭompelling, visceral and immediate. Roxana Robinson - New York Times Book ReviewĮveryone should read anything with Ferrante’s name on it. ( From a 2014 review of Those Who Stay Those Who Leave) This is a new version of the way we live now-one we need, one told brilliantly, by a woman. In these bold, gorgeous, relentless novels, Ferrante traces the deep connections between the political and the domestic. Her voice is passionate, her view sweeping and her gaze basilisk.
( These reviews refer to the other works in Ferrante's Neapolitan series, not just My Brilliant Friend.)Įlena Ferrante is one of the great novelists of our time.
