Elena Ferrant: The wisdom and charm of "anonymous writer"

Elena Ferrant is a pseudonym, and the author's true identity is still a mystery. The book "Occasionally Creation" is the column collection of its 2018 Guardian in 2018. It is also the first time that writers have tried autobiographical writing since publishing debuts in 1992. Through 52 essays, the writer recalled many experiences, people and things that had special significance, explaining their views on the topics of fear and jealousy, growth and aging, body and writing, lies and privacy, and also showed their thinking. Ability and thought thickness.

There are many writers famous for their pseudonym, but most of them can't resist the innocence of the media and readers, so that their pseudonym is reunited with the real name.

The pen name of Elena Ferland has been popular in the world for 30 years. Whether it is her motherland and other countries, they cannot give me an explanation of Elena Ferland in the world: the Italian writer's surname is very famous in the end who?

From 2011 to 2014, Elena Ferrant published "My Genius Girlfriend", "The Story of the New Name", "Leaving, Leave the Missing Child" and other 4 at the frequency of one year. This novel. This set of novels called the "Naples Tour" related to the plot are soon translated into English to go public in English, and then there is "Elena Ferland" style: March 2017: March 2017 , "My Genius Girlfriend" was adapted into a drama and moved to the London stage; later, HBO announced that it would adapt the "Naples Fourth Terminal" into a TV series. With the popularity of the TV series, more original readers and TV drama audiences eagerly wanted to know what the writer hidden behind the pen name Elena Frandt is what.

The British "Guardian" wanted to be a secret, so he had a clever move and invited Ferrant to open a column on the newspaper with a weekly frequency. The idea of ​​"Guardian" is probably that in more than 50 non -fictional essays, Elena Ferrant really does not reveal the information of a real identity?

Starting on January 20, 2018, in a year, Elena Ferrant wrote a total of 52 articles for the Guardian. Today, the simplified Chinese version of the "Occasionally Creation" compiled by these articles has been published by People's Literature Publishing House in April 2022.

Whether a work is outstanding has nothing to do with the author, but only related to its own quality

I am also an Eleina Ferland fan who is eager to know the coming of the writer, the magic weapon of success, and the new writing plan because I like the "Naples Four Terminal". I couldn't hold my excitement from beginning to end, but I glanced at the catalogs over the end, and I wanted to speculate on which the author would accidentally reveal the gossip I wanted in the world.

Among them, the only real name is so eye -catching! Although Elena Ferrant is based on the collection of Naples's "Rencishan Church" art museum, it is not detailed in the late 16th century and early 17th century. The unknown "Lonely Virgin": "This is a small nun image, her hands closed, her eyes closed, and a fascinating expression." Just this description, it is difficult for us to understand Elena · Ferland has a special reason for the "Lonely Virgin". You can carefully ponder the following words, and you can come out of the water.

"Since my youth, I have liked the word" Anonymous '', which means that for the person who created this painting, I can only understand him through the work in front of me. I think this is a good one. Inspired, I can only pass the work in front of me, without considering whether he is an adult or a small person. "It can be seen that Elena Ferrant believes that when people pay more attention to Caravaggio's reputation instead of his work, At this time, it will inevitably cover myself approaching or even walking into Caravaggio's painting. Rather than standing in front of the unknown works, calm down, carefully look at the boutique in the museum after being washed through time.

This is the reasons for Elena Ferland to become popular in the world literary world with the world's literary world with the novel "Bad Love", let alone the reasons for her real name, and not to participate in any signature activities and readers who like her face -to -face? Because, in her opinion, Elena Ferrant is an unknown name. Since the readers like "The Days of abandoned", "Daughter of the Dark Place" and "Naples Tour", then they are directly intoxicated in the work. So, who is Elena Ferrant and what does it matter? It can be seen that in Elena Ferrant's thoughts, whether a work does not have much relationship with the author, but only about the quality of the work itself. This is "the only real name".

Get rid of the female writer column and what should be written "people"

So, did you not leak the real situation of Elena Ferrant in "Occasionally Creation"? The answer is of course "no".

In my favorite "The Necessary Writing", Elena Ferrant wrote: "Publishing can be delayed, we can even decide not to publish, but the writing is urgent ... If writing is our way of existence in this world, we are our existence, we are our existence, we we are in this world, we are in this world, we are in this world. It can only continue to strengthen its urgency and put it in front of many things in our lives, such as love, learning, and work. "She almost put her secrets and trips and disclosure.

In "Writing Woman", Elena Ferrant wrote: "Many women have a sober thinking, firm eyes, and courage to write when writing. They will not just write some sweet words. Women The influence of wisdom is becoming more and more obvious, which has produced very powerful literary works. "Elena Ferrant pushed himself and others with his writing experience. In fact, many female writers are satisfied with writing some sweet words. Her remarks are undoubtedly reminding women who are writers and even all women. What kind of posture should we stand in this world with men in this world. And the "Nasty Woman", after reading the "anger" of seeing each other hate. "It's not easy for all women to end in the huge hardships every day. Whether it is poor or wealthy, whether they have been educated, beautiful or ugly, very famous or unknown. Is there a child, or the rebellion or obedience. The deep inside of our women is subject to our way of existence in this world ... Women live in lasting contradictions and fatigue fatigue. " "Endorsement, it tells the reader what kind of thinking ability and thought thickness of a female writer to have in order to describe two stories of two girls born in the poverty -stricken community in Naples for more than half a century of friendship.

Have you read the honesty and frankness of Elena Ferland? Isn't this more interesting than knowing her real name? Just as she said in the article "Person", "Daniel Dai Lewis (famous British actor) is not a person, but a work. His name is like a title. On behalf of an excellent work, that is, referring to all the characters he played, all the stories he participated in the interpretation ... If he suddenly becomes a flesh -and -blood person, then he is pitiful and I am very pitiful. "

The reason why Elena Ferrant across psychological obstacles agreed to the Guardian's invitation is to get rid of the "person" of a female writer's column and what should be written. She did do it. Elena Ferrant told her readers, especially female readers, how to settle herself in this ruthless world. So when I read the 5th article "Fiction and Truth" in "Occasionally Creation", I completely forgot the original intention of choosing this book, that is, who wants to peep at who is Elena Ferrant, I am this Italian Italy. Female writers are completely fascinated by the wisdom and charm of growth, love, family, lies, farewell, talent and other topics, which are completely fascinated.
