Elena Ferrante, The Guardian; Elena Ferrante: A writer’s talent is like a fishing net, catching daily experiences that can educate

is to instruct...
An individual talent acts like a fishing net that captures daily
experiences, holds them together imaginatively, and connects them to
fundamental questions about the human condition."
