Fragments

A stunning collection of occasional writings, interviews, and letters by Elena Ferrante, author of the Neapolitan novels, crowned “one of the great novelists of our times” by Roxana Robinson in the New York Times.

In this collection of writings and responses gathered from over 30 years of correspondence, the reclusive Italian author addresses her unwavering decision to remain anonymous, her literary inspirations, Italian politics and culture, and the role of the writer (and the publisher) in modern society.

Ferrante’s voice is as direct, penetrating, acute, inspiring, and intimate as it is in her acclaimed novels.
