Me = I write, I edit, I speak Italian, I teach & I do some translation, too. Plus, I love these little sugar-dusted donuts that the Italians call ciambelline. Ciambellina = Chah-Mm-Bayl-LEEna. Welcome & start reading!

The Italian Advantage! (Ferrante post #501)
It's not every day that knowing Italian actually gives me an edge but ha ha! Today it does!
I don't have to wait until Ann Goldstein at the New Yorker translates Elena Ferrante's latest book from her Neapolitian series. I can go ahead and read it in Italian! YAY!
Just look at it. (In fact that's all I can do since I still have to finish Book #2 of the series).
Storia della bambina perduta.
(Thanks to Il Nostro Inviato for picking me up a copy last week when he went to Italy for work.)
Happy reading everyone!
