Summary

Elena Ferrante is one of the greatest novelists of our time. Read her novels and don't worry about who she is- you will be entranced by her writing. Fragments is a riveting compilation, over the course of her writing career, of Elena Ferrante's letters to her publisher, interviews with editors and journalists, and responses to readers' questions. For fans of Ferrante, and for fans of writing, this is essential reading. Her comments have the ring of truth and the power of wisdom. This is a woman who not only knows her own mind, she can see deep into ours, too.
"Gathered from over thirty years of the reclusive Elena Ferrante's career, Frantumaglia includes correspondence with her Italian publisher, interviews with journalists and responses to readers' questions. Ferrante addresses her unwavering decision to remain anonymous; her literary inspirations; feminism; politics and culture; and the role of the writer in modern society. Her voice--the ring of truth and the power of wisdom--is as intimate, penetrating and inspiring in these pages as it is in her celebrated novels."--Page 4 of cover.
