It took Nanlou less than five days to read Ferrante's "Naples Quartet".
The flesh-pink book cover is stained unevenly with yellowish gray, and there are still a few faint fingerprints.
"My Genius Girlfriend"
Nanlou recited silently.
I also have a genius girlfriend, she thought.
The story of two girls growing up at the end of the decline of state-owned factories and mines, a chaotic and complicated growth and entanglement story.
The atypical models of good girls and bad girls in ancient times + two groups of families that have been left behind in the changing times + the power structure in all relationships...
Slow-burning, with many characters and low plot density, and complicated jumps in time clues
Rather than completing a complete story with ups and downs, this article is more like completing the issues that I have always hoped to write and present: [the dissolution of boundaries], [the retreat of the familiar world], [the scramble and division of power/discourse/belonging among female members within the family], and most importantly, [the nurturing and snatching of female friendship].
However, the above issues are bound to be presented in the article with a very personal understanding, so delicate and even trivial. What I call "clarifying a state".
Hope you guys like it.
Purpose: Under the changing times, a slice-by-section presentation of family, female friendship, personal struggle, and intimate relationships.
