Anna McGary Knows EVERYTHING Anna McGary

Natalie "feminism referee" Nielsen-Ruiz joins me to talk about our favorite books of 2021! We read vastly and we read well. Goofing and gabbing our way through the highs and lows of our year in reading. We have perfect taste and we are very smart. Don't ask follow-up questions about anything we've read because WE DONT REMEMBER.

This week I am joined by una donna straordinaria: Natalie "botanical gardens" Nielsen-Ruiz. We talk about everyone's favorite Italian author Elena Ferrante, focusing on The Neopolitan Novels and The Days of Abandonment. We look at some interviews she has given, name every hot person we can think of, and tell you the truth about Italy. Natalie really is.... my brilliant friend.  
Content warning: there is some discussion of sexual assault, its portrayal in The Neopolitan novels and in wider media.
