IN THE MARGINS On the Pleasures of Reading and Writing

Enigmatic Italian author Elena Ferrante offers glimpses of her journey as a writer, exploring literature and the process of writing. Narrator Hillary Huber's sumptuous voice brings out the poignancy of the four thought-provoking essays, which are rich with Ferrante's insights and stories about the writers who have made a significant contribution to her life and our world. Huber delivers the material with a full-bodied resonance that accentuates the lush imagery in Ferrante's ideas on thoughts and how they get onto paper. References to global literature that inspired Ferrante's work and impacted the writing and success of other female writers are delivered with a melodic flair that conveys the mystique of language. Huber's performance is a short but lavish listening experience for lovers of letters and literature. M.F. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2022]
