It’s no secret the identity of Elena Ferrante is a mystery. The author has never introduced themselves to the world, so there has been a lot of speculation over the years. We watch a video by Ann Novella, who provides some pretty solid proof of Ferrante’s identity, and discuss it in this week’s episode. We also discussed the identity of Elena Ferrante back in episode 6 of season 1. Check it out at https://www.tbrlowdown.com/show-notes/s1e6.

Highlights:

🎙 Do we even want to know who Elena Ferrante really is?
🎙 We wonder if we’d feel differently about her books if her identity were made public.
🎙 The software used to expose Ferrante is kind of brilliant!
