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.\nHere 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.\n“Everyone should read everything with Elena Ferrante’s name on it.”—The Boston Globe\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1609457374\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1609457374.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Ferrante, Elena\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
