  • Resumen

  • ciao, brilliant friends! get ready to talk about translated fiction and dive into the world of Elena Ferrante's "My Brilliant Friend”. join us for a whirlwind discussion where we navigate through poorly pronounced Italian words, questionable cover designs, and the magical art of translated fiction.

    from dissecting the brilliance of Ann Goldstein's translation to brief mentions of Italian cultural icons like the Lizzie McGuire movie and Stefano from A Series of Unfortunate Events, we're leaving no stone unturned.

    can we relate to Lila and Elena's adventures as much as we relate to Lizzie's Roman holiday? let’s find out!

    so grab your espresso and channel your inner Italian stallion as we laugh, cry, and discuss all things "My Brilliant Friend."

    tune in and let's get lost in translation together!
