Booklist
Elena Ferrante
The literary community has been interested in Elena Ferrante's real identity since the early 1990s, when her first novel Tough Love was published. The international success of the Genius Girlfriend tetralogy has prompted an intensified search for her identity. Whoever Elena Ferrante is, she is currently ranked by critics as one of Italy's greatest living authors, and in 2016 Time magazine listed her among the 100 most influential people in the world.
Czech readers have already encountered her narrative mastery, which is not based on narrative experiments, but on the riveting power of her testimony about the most basic human emotional bonds, in her novel Dny opustštění (2011). Her novels Tough Love and Days of Abandonment were made into films (1995, r. Mario Martone and 2005, r. Roberto Faenza), and now an eight-part TV series based on the Genius Girlfriend tetralogy is being produced by HBO and the Italian RAI.
