In the margins : on the pleasures of reading and writing

Ferrante, Elena (author.). Goldstein, Ann, 1949- (translator.). Ozzola, Sandra, (editor.).

Summary: "Here, in these four crisp essays, Ferrante offers a rare look at the origins of her literary powers. 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."--
