Episode notes

The book is about two friends who stay in each other's orbit. "They are still like close in a way that you can be with somebody whom you met at a really, like, formative time in your life," she says. The relationship between the characters has been made extra important because of their circumstances.

This week's book, the first in a four-book series by the pseudonymous Elena Ferrante, is about the friendship of two Italian women across many years and many phases of life. You won't BELIEVE which friend ends up being the brilliant one!

Our theme music was composed by Nick Lerangis.
