520 Elena Ferrante's Neapolitan novels achieved stunning
global success in part because of the mystery surrounding
their pseudonymous author. English-speaking readers were
tantalized by her enigmatic biography as well as what they
took to be her authentic portrayal of working-class
Naples. However, we now know that the person behind the
writing is most likely Anita Raja, a prominent translator
of German literature whose background is very different
from Ferrante's supposed life. In Finding Ferrante,
Alessia Ricciardi revisits questions about Ferrante's
identity to show how the problem of authorship is deeply
intertwined with the novels' literary ambition and
politics. Going beyond the local and national cultures of
Naples and Italy, Ricciardi reads Ferrante's fiction as
world literature, foregrounding Raja's work as a
translator. She examines the novels' engagement with
German literature and criticism, particularly Goethe,
Walter Benjamin, and Christa Wolf, while also tracing the
influence of Italian thinkers such as Antonio Gramsci,
Carla Lonzi, and the Milan Women's Bookstore Collective.
Considering central questions of sexuality, work, politics,
and place, Ricciardi demonstrates how intertextual
resonances reshape our understanding of Lila and Elena,
the protagonists of the Neapolitan Quartet, as well as the
characters and language of Ferrante's other books. This
bold reconsideration of one of today's most acclaimed
authors reveals Ferrante's works as fiercely intellectual,
showing their deep concern with feminist and cultural
politics and the ethical and political stakes of
literature. "Constructed as a literary detective story,
Finding Ferrante captures the reader as its object of
investigation. By revealing who is behind the pseudonym,
Ricciardi explores the explosive linguistic energy of an
extraordinary writer whose story-telling seductive power,
like a Gramscian experiment by literary means, accounts
for 'an intimate public sphere'―one in which the
ambivalent yet productive forms of trust between women
encounter the generative practices and topographies of
female relationality." "In Finding Ferrante, Ricciardi
offers a lucid, imaginative, and richly informed study of
all of Elena Ferrante's work, emphasizing the crucial
concept of resistance that appears throughout the
enigmatic writer's books."
