The most fertile path open to Ferrante scholars is that of observing her work through the lens of a close analysis in which authors’ identities are diffracted and margins between texts are dissolved. This collection of essays, Framing Ferrante: Adaptation and Intermediality in the works of Elena Ferrante, edited by Roberta Cauchi-Santoro and Russell Kilbourn, remarkably meets this challenge, as Ferrante’s texts are examined in adaptation, outside the orderly narrative and interpretative frame that the author created through the invention of her name. Framing Ferrante fills a gap in Ferrante studies, providing the first scholarly collection of essays entirely dedicated to adaptations of Elena Ferrante’s novels: Mario Martone’s L’amore molesto (1995), Roberto Faenza’s I giorni dell’abbandono (2005), Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Lost Daughter (2021), and the television series: Saverio Costanzo et al.’s HBO adaptation of L’amica geniale (2018-2024) and Edoardo De Angelis’s Netflix series La vita bugiarda degli adulti (2023).
