Elena Ferrante Writing Elena Ferrante is the name of the author of many books, including Neapolitan Novels, which is a four-volume set. The Neapolitan Novels tell the story of the lives of two intelligent and perceptive girls who were born in Naples in 1944 and try to make their own lives in a violent and repressive society. The books in the series are My Brilliant Friend (2012), The Story of a New Name (2013), Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay (2014), and The Story of the Lost Child (2015), nominated for Strega Prize, which is the most prestigious Italian literary award. Ferrante said, “Once a book is written, the person who wrote it is no longer needed.” He has said many times that he cannot work anonymously and that keeping his real name out of the spotlight is essential to how he writes. According to Ferrante, The moment I realized that the finished book was going to go out into the world without me, and that there was nothing real, I would physically appear next to the volume—as if the book were a little dog and I was its owner—he was able to see something new about writing. I feel like I’m at a loss for words. The first piece of his work published in English was “Delia’s Elevator,” translated by Adria Frizzi and included in the book After the War (2004). It tells the story of what the main character does on the day his mother is buried, especially when he returns to his safe place in the old elevator of the apartment building where he grew up. The Story of the Lost Child, the fourth book in Ferrante’s Neapolitan quartet, was named one of The New York Times’ 10 Best Books of 2015. The Lying Life of Adults, his first book after he finished the quartet , was translated into English by Ann Goldstein. It’s a twist on the typical story of a teenage girl coming of age. Anonymity Although Ferrante is known worldwide as a novelist, he has kept his identity a secret since his first book came out in 1992. There has been much talk about who he really is, and several theories have been put forward based on something Ferrante has said in interviews and about what his books are. Ferrante’s book La Frantumaglia, a collection of letters, essays, reflections, and interviews, appeared in 2003. In 2016, it was translated into English, and it reveals some of his background. In an article for The New Yorker in 2013, critic James Wood summarized what most people know about Ferrante, based in part on the letters in that volume: Some of his letters have been misplaced in books. From them, we know that he was born in Naples and lived outside Italy for a while. She has a degree in classics, and she talked about being a mother. One can also guess from his books and interviews that he is not married yet… “I also study, I translate, and I teach,” he says. Marco Santagata, an Italian novelist, philologist, Petrarch and Dante scholar, and professor at the University of Pisa, wrote a paper in March 2016 about his theory of who Ferrante was. Santagata’s paper is based on a philological analysis of Ferrante’s writing, a close reading of the novel’s details about the cityscape of Pisa, and the fact that the author shows a deep understanding of the modern politics of Italian. Based on this information, he concluded that the author lived in Pisa but left in 1966. He then found that the likely author was a professor from Naples named Marcella Marmo, who attended school in Pisa from 1964 to 1966. Both Marmo and the publisher say that Santagata is not who he says he is. Claudio Gatti, an investigative reporter, wrote an article in October 2016 that was published in both Il Sole 24 Ore and Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. The article used financial records about real estate deals and royalty payments to show that Anita Raja, a translator living in Rome, was the true author behind the pen name Ferrante. Many people in the literary world said that Gatti’s article was an invasion of privacy, but Gatti said that it was not “By saying that he once lied, Ferrante gave up his right to hide behind his books and let they lived and grew while their author remained unknown. In fact, he and his publisher seem to have pushed people to find out who he really was.” British author Matt Haig wrote on Twitter, “Consider trying to find the “real” Elena Ferrante is both a shame and a waste of time. The books an author writes reveal who they really are.” In an article for The Guardian, writer Jeanette Winterson called Gatti’s investigations mean-spirited and sexist. She wrote, “At the center of this so-called investigation into Ferrante’s identity is an overwhelming anger at the success of a woman writer who chose to write, publish, and promote her books on her own terms.” He went on to say that wanting to know who Ferrante was was sexist in itself, and that “Italy is still a Catholic country with a strong patriarchal attitude towards women.” Other commenters on Gatti’s article said it was important to know about Ferrante’s life. In December 2016, the controversial Italian prankster Tommaso Debenedetti posted on the website of the Spanish newspaper El Mundo what was supposed to be an interview with Raja in which he claimed to be Elena Ferrante. Ferrante’s publisher quickly denied this, calling the interview fake. In September 2017, a group of scholars, computer scientists, philologists, and linguists at the University of Padua looked at 150 novels written in Italian by 40 different authors, including seven books by Elena Ferrante but none Raja. Using several methods to find out who wrote the books, they came to the conclusion that Anita Raja’s husband, the writer and journalist Domenico Starnone, was probably the one who wrote the Ferrante books. Raja works as a copy editor for E/O Publishing and has long edited Starnone’s books. Ferrante has repeatedly denied that he is a man. In 2015, she told Vanity Fair that questions about her gender stemmed from the idea that female writers were “weak.”
