Like few other works of contemporary literature, Elena Ferrante's
Neapolitan novels found an audience of passionate and engaged
readers around the world. Inspired by Ferrante's intense depiction
of female friendship and women's intellectual lives, four critics
embarked upon a project that was both work and play: to create a
series of epistolary readings of the Neapolitan Quartet that also
develops new ways of reading and thinking together. In a series of
intertwined, original, and daring readings of Ferrante's work and
her fictional world, Sarah Chihaya, Merve Emre, Katherine Hill, and
Juno Jill Richards strike a tone at once critical and personal,
achieving a way of talking about literature that falls between the
seminar and the book club. Their letters make visible the slow,
fractured, and creative accretion of ideas that underwrites all
literary criticism and also illuminate the authors' lives outside
the academy. The Ferrante Letters offers an improvisational,
collaborative, and cumulative model for reading and writing with
others, proposing a new method the authors call collective
criticism. A book for fans of Ferrante and for literary scholars
seeking fresh modes of intellectual exchange, The Ferrante Letters
offers incisive criticism, insouciant riffs, and the pleasure of
giving oneself over to an extended conversation about fiction with
friends.
