Chairing this in Edinburgh in a couple of weeks! If you are in the city, come by! 📖

Kate, Claudia, and I dreamt of this together and it has been a delight to meet and discuss Ferrante's work, two summers in a row. (Hire me to lead your reading groups, please <3)

@zsofia-v.bsky.social and I have put months of effort into this and we can't wait to listen to and learn from our two wonderful keynotes (Dr. Ráhel Katalin Turai and Dr. Natalya Benkhaled-Vince). You can join us online for the first part of the day. 🎙️
