"'L'invenzione occasionale' è composta da cinquantuno frammenti eterogenei di esperienze e di poetica, di intuizioni e di autobiografia. I titoli dei brevi testi modellano una mappa in movimento, definita di volta in volta dall'occhio del lettore. Attraversando soglie e frontiere diverse, rovesciando le stesse pertinenze di alto e basso, ogni tessera apre varchi tra contesti lontani, devia dal solco per meglio segnarne la traccia. Ed ecco che il racconto dell'insonnia porta all'urgenza di scrivere, i puntini sospensivi alla viltà, l'attrazione per un attore all'autonomia dell'opera d'arte, il trauma dei traslochi all'emancipazione delle donne, le piante alla smarginatura. La scrittura si definisce così come uno strumento paradossale, che afferma perentoriamente proprio quando sembra negare e divagare. Per incidere le apparenze dello stereotipo, per recuperare il vero occultato sotto la patina del verosimile, entra in scena un punto di vista nomade, al tempo stesso vicino e lontano dalla nostra vita quotidiana. Scavare, andare in profondità sotto questa superficie significa, in particolare, ripensare l'immaginario femminile come uno splendido graffito ancora parzialmente sepolto. Oltre il denso strato dell'immaginario neo-patriarcale, della retorica dell'emancipazione o dei buoni sentimenti: da lì si sprigiona 'L'invenzione occasionale'." (Tiziana de Rogatis)

Elena Ferrante is the author of The Days of Abandonment (Europa, 2005), which was made into a film directed by Roberto Faenza, Troubling Love (Europa, 2006), adapted by Mario Martone, and The Lost Daughter (Europa, 2008), soon to be a film directed by Maggie Gyllenhaal. She is also the author of Incidental Inventions (Europa, 2019), illustrated by Andrea Ucini, Frantumaglia: A Writer's Journey (Europa, 2016) and a children's picture book illustrated by Mara Cerri, The Beach at Night (Europa, 2016). The four volumes known as the "Neapolitan quartet" (My Brilliant Friend, The Story of a New Name, Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay, and The Story of the Lost Child) were published by Europa Editions in English between 2012 and 2015. My Brilliant Friend, the HBO series directed by Saverio Costanzo, premiered in 2018.
Ann Goldstein has translated into English all of Elena Ferrante's books, including each of the New York Times bestselling installments in Ferrante's Neapolitan quartet, the fourth of which, The Story of the Lost Child, was shortlisted for the MAN Booker International Prize. She has been honored with a Guggenheim Fellowship and is a recipient of the PEN Renato Poggioli Translation Award. She lives in New York.
Andrea Ucini is a self-taught illustrator, born and raised in Italy and now living in the countryside of Hundested, Denmark, near Copenhagen, with his wife, three children, and plenty of animals. He works in a studio surrounded by Danish nature, and the changing seasons.

Hardback. Etat : Very Good. Ucini, Andrea (illustrateur). Elena Ferrante is the best-selling author of My Brilliant Friend, now an HBO original series. Collected here for the first time are the seeds of future novels, the timely reflections of this internationally beloved storyteller, the abiding preoccupations of a writer who has been called one of the great novelists of our time (New York Times). This is my last column, after a year that has scared and inspired me . . . I have written as an author of novels, taking on matters that are important to me and that--if I have the will and the time--I'd like to develop within real narrative mechanisms. With these words, Elena Ferrante bid farewell to her year-long collaboration with the Guardian newspaper. For a full year, she wrote weekly articles, the subjects of which had been suggested by Guardian editors, making the writing process a sort of prolonged interlocution. The subjects ranged from first love to climate change, from enmity among women to the experience of seeing her novels adapted for film and TV. Translated by Ann Goldstein, the acclaimed translator of Ferrante's novels, and accompanied by Andrea Ucini's intelligent, witty, and beautiful illustrations, this volume is a must for all curious readers.
