Constructed as a literary detective story, Finding Ferrante captures the reader as its object of investigation. By revealing who is behind the pseudonym, Ricciardi explores the explosive linguistic energy of an extraordinary writer whose story-telling seductive power, like a Gramscian experiment by literary means, accounts for 'an intimate public sphere' one in which the ambivalent yet productive forms of trust between women encounter the generative practices and topographies of female relationality. -- Adriana Cavarero, University of Verona In Finding Ferrante, Ricciardi offers a lucid, imaginative, and richly informed study of all of Elena Ferrante's work, emphasizing the crucial concept of resistance that appears throughout the enigmatic writer's books. -- Michael Wood, author of Children of Silence: On Contemporary Fiction
