HTML: "Nothing quite like this has ever been published before," proclaimed The Guardian about the Neapolitan novels in 2014. Against the backdrop of a Naples that is as seductive as it is perilous and a world undergoing epochal change, Elena Ferrante tells the story of a sixty-year friendship between the brilliant and bookish Elena and the fiery, rebellious Lila with unmatched honesty and brilliance.

Lenu begins the story of their friendship only after Lila has disappeared. Telling it, Lenu hopes to conjure her vanished friend both literally and figuratively. Figuratively, she provides the scaffolding through which Lila becomes intelligible--there is her preternatural savviness; her complex standing within the neighborhood & the labor movement; her fear of (& desire) for dissolution; the particular breed of her intelligence and its limitations; her response to cataclysmic events; the sacralizing of Naples. Literally, the story Lenu narrates is meant to call Lila from the shadows--it is a trap to ensnare her--to force Lila to produce her own better counter-narrative, to induce her to come to the creative table. To collaborate. ( )
