Ferante

■ elegant, refined, focused writing

■ It would not be a pseudonym, that is, a false name; it would be the only true name used to identify her imaginative power, her ability. 

■  ‘A woman friend is as rare as a true love’

■‘I insist on writing things I think I would never put in writing’-
  I write with greater dedication when I start digging into common situations, and insist on expressing everything that we tend to be silent about

But I still think that those who are more or less arbitrarily given the job of telling stories shouldn’t be concerned about the serenity of individual readers; rather, they should construct fictions that help seek the truth of the human condition.
