✦ Synopsis

"As for Naples, today I feel drawn above all by Anna Maria Ortese. . . . If I managed again to write about this city, I would try to craft a text that explores the direction indicated there."—Elena Ferrante in Frantumaglia: A Writer's Journey

A riveting classic of European literature, this superb collection of fiction and reportage is set in Italy's most vibrant and turbulent metropolis—Naples—in the immediate aftermath of World War Two. These writings helped inspire Elena Ferrante's best-selling novels and she has expressed deep admiration for the author of this volume, originally edited in Italian by Italo Calvino.
