About This Novel
"My Brilliant Friend" is the first time that Elena Ferrante's "Naples Tetralogy" has been adapted into a graphic novel. The "Naples Tetralogy" tells the story of the half-century friendship between two girls born in a poor area of Naples. The first "My Genius Girlfriend" starts from the girlhood of the two heroines Lila and Elena... It reproduces the despair, anger, confusion, anxiety, and sometimes infinitely bright life experience of the two girls full of vitality in a chaotic and dangerous environment. The watercolors with the texture of Italian frescoes that are between novels and movies, the flexible storyboard perspective, the slightly green modern painting style, and the low-purity pictures may seem plain, but they are enough to construct the psychological world and emotional dimension of the story. It shows the overlapping and separated destinies of the two girls in extreme detail, and peeks into the mud of teenage youth. Readers seem to touch the ever-changing texture of female friendship, and I believe this graphic novel will evoke memories and resonance among girls.
