Wow.... incredible ❤

Why couldn't it have been the other way round - the novels were primarily written by Anita Raja, but brilliantly edited thereafter by Domenico Starnone? That would explain the 'common DNA'. Given the extraordinary understanding of the female psyche the books display, it is very, very difficult to believe they were written by a man.

I am finishing reading her diaries and I agree she was a brilliant writer.

We’ll I’m in love wit young Nino he’s handsome in a geeky way I guess iv always went for jocks but nino got my attention point blank 😂sorry not sorry I no he’s a lying douch but cute one

The money trail proves that the author/s belong to the Anita Raja-Domenico Starnone household. But the algorithm only proves that Elena Ferrante writing is more similar to Starnone than any other writer... unfortunately, there are no Anita Raja books to compare with. It could be possible that, if there were Anita Raja books, they would end being more similar to Ferrante´s than Starnone´s. My theory is that Anita Raja is Lenú trying to tell her story; but different from Lenú, she never had the guts or the self-confidence to publish her writings... until her husband/novelist "Nino" took her writings and edit them into coherent novels, insering his style in them. That also explains why Anita never has come forward as Ferrante, as she would have to explain that she is not the sole authors of the novels. I´m also thinking that Anita, being an even more insecure Lenu, will absolutely hate book tours, press, events, awards, speeches... so being an anonymous author is a fair place for her to be.

Wrong😂

I haven’t read the books, but from watching the series I suspected the author was male. Too much didn’t ring true about female friendships. Also I started doing my own research and the fact that the writer kept his/her identity a secret made me more suspicious. If the writer is a male that’s extremely important. The mostly female readership truly believed a woman wrote them. Big part of the books popularity and what made him so much money.

Oh Ann! I am so hoping that this is where you are and what you are doing now 🥳 FWIW i believe you will be fabulous in this type of vocation ( i have some experience) and have so much to offer! It's exciting isn't it, a new adventure? I missed this one as I've been doing an intensive bootcamp to change careers 🤯. Best wishes, 🌻🐕🐈🦜

it's been so long since we've heard from you. are you okay?

I’ve read all of hers books minus the short stories because I don’t care for short stories. I’ve read the novels two to three times each!

A better microphone might improve the audio.

I love her writing and work. I think the only controversy is because she was a woman.

what's with the EXPOSED thumbnail? If she doesn't want to be unknown, LEAVE HER THE FUCK ALONE.

I'm giving you an A+++ on this one. And I love the spooky forest inserts.

Can you do a video on Victor Hugo

I’m beginning research into Anaïs Nin to write a poem about her to include in my chapbook. I am glad I started my research here. This was a delight. I subscribed and can’t wait to watch more videos! Thank you for making wonderful content! The world needs more of it!

Thank you for this 😊

re 9:00, I think if we reversed the genders and a man were sort of dating multiple women at once, with their consent, at least some people would probably view those women as having been exploited. The mere fact that some people consent to some stuff doesn't imply that it's in their interests or they aren't being exploited in some way - it's too choice feminism-ish. Also re 10:30, I don't think these are mutually exclusive; something can be both the patient's fault and the professional's fault. The violation of a fiduciary duty obviously isn't the patient's fault, but adultery is (and it sort of strips an adult woman of her moral agency to pretend otherwise).

Just read Tiger tiger and came in search for reviews... it is really traumatizing, such mixed feelings about regretting reading it and the book being so well written. But it is just so much to process, i really cant. This book just broke my soul. Margaux was so brave and resilient for writing this memoir.

Intresting. Love, love Ferrante ❤️ And it’s actually quite nice not to have the writer or writers in the focus, but rather the books themselves. However, the mystery teases imagination :)

This has to be the most over-rated book I've ever been duped into purchasing. I stopped three quarters of the way through. Yes, some nice lines, but the sum of the parts, and there are many of them, is a random hodgepodge of moaning and poorly realised surrealist dreams, seemingly written down at breakfast time. I had no sympathy, no connection and no interest in his life. Maybe all is revealed in the last third of the book, I will never know. Perhaps one of the most amateur efforts I've ever thrown on the floor in boredom.

She was born 1903, early 20 th century.

I have loved following the Tour de France this year. Remco Evenepoel was great!

I work as a bookseller in Amsterdam and I keep recommending this book to people, mostly because I want people to talk about it with. We sell a ton of copies and I've put it on all our recommended lists. I think it's also really important to know that fled the holocaust, I looked at the book with new eyes after I learned that. Honestly I keep thinking about this book months later. Thanks for your insights.

So happy you’re back✨🙏🏻Radical changement is sometimes nécessaire. Sincerely hope it will work out for the job. You talk about it with passion and motivation. Sure you will bring joy to the residents🎉. À bientôt !🌻

Replay crew- I am a retired special education teacher. 24 years with children aged 4-21. I’m so excited that you will have this opportunity. No day will be a duplicate, even with the same person. Being kind and patient are the most important things to be. Learning how to respond to and redirect and guide the person to the safest choices. You, by virtue of being a human being that cares for others, will be very capable.

Love the live stream format and love your suggestions. Have missed your videos. Hope you're having a nice summer. ⛱️🍷

Sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy Murakami’s new book. I am looking forward to reading it. Have you read “Colorless Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage”? I loved that book. I also enjoyed his story “KAHO” featured in The New Yorker’s current issue.

I am so so excited for you. I’m so glad a serendipitous dropping in somewhere may end up as a new direction for you!! It’s so good seeing you here.

I bought this book based on your recommendation. I'll be reading it soon. I'm happy that you're back.! You are one of my favorites!!!

Love this tag and your answers were fantastic. I so agree about Ulysses. I have the final two episodes to go the. I’m finished and I shall hope never to see it again 😂
