I have known this fact for 10 years and glad it got verified. A win for my dear Ferrante Feverists ❤️😘 not that these lists mean much, but today they do! So happy. The love of my life, the writer of my life. @EuropaEditions

@reynoldsmichael The covers are *the* thing! These novels subvert the distinction between “high” and “low” literature! The covers represent that! These covers are so on-point!

Watching Rahul Kanwal embarrassing himself while trying to prove to @_YogendraYadav that this is some great victory for Modi and getting positively schooled by YY is SO CRINGE & pleasurable! Dear godi media anchors, do yourselves a favour.. shut up and sit down! You’ve lost too! #IndiaDecides2024

✅ @nyrr #RBCBrooklynHalf. After six races and PRs, grad school and an exciting move ahead, decided to treat this like a long, easy run. The course was amazing and the energy, simply electric. Now a few months of rest before my fall races! Being able to take it easy is a gift.

Once driven largely by superstition, the brutal practice is now often simply a tool to oppress women, in many cases violently.

Why is India struggling to eradicate witch-hunting? And what does it mean to be branded a witch?

Spent months writing on #ElenaFerrante, the writer of my life, for my MA thesis. Thanks to mentors like Rebecca Falkoff & Chiara Marchelli. These pages contain more of my life than I ever imagined, and I cannot wait to carry this spirit into my writing, and life. #FerranteFever
