520    "Like few other works of contemporary literature, Elena 
       Ferrante's Neapolitan novels found an audience of 
       passionate and engaged readers around the world. Inspired 
       by Ferrante's intense depiction of female friendship and 
       women's intellectual lives, four critics embarked upon a 
       project that was both work and play: to create a series of
       epistolary readings of the Neapolitan Quartet that also 
       develops new ways of reading and thinking together. In a 
       series of intertwined, original, and daring readings of 
       Ferrante's work and her fictional world, Sarah Chihaya, 
       Merve Emre, Katherine Hill, and Jill Richards strike a 
       tone at once critical and personal, achieving a way of 
       talking about literature that falls between the seminar 
       and the book club. Their letters make visible the slow, 
       fractured, and creative accretion of ideas that 
       underwrites all literary criticism and also illuminate the
       authors' lives outside the academy. The Ferrante Letters 
       offers an improvisational, collaborative, and cumulative 
       model for reading and writing with others, proposing a new
       method the authors call collective criticism. A book for 
       fans of Ferrante and for literary scholars seeking fresh 
       modes of intellectual exchange, The Ferrante Letters 
       offers incisive criticism, insouciant riffs, and the 
       pleasure of giving oneself over to an extended 
       conversation about fiction with friends"--|cProvided by
