[ilds] Durrell mention in NY Review of Books

[Kennedy Gammage]

>From Roger Cohen’s review of The Story of the Lost Child by Elena Ferrante:

“Certainly, she dabbles in many genres: her evocation of the devastating
work conditions in the sausage factory where Lila labored recalls Zola; her
examination of Nino Sarratore’s ambitious rise from the provinces to
political prominence in Rome owes something to Balzac. Her vivid
description of place recalls Lawrence Durrell. (Naples is the
third-most-important character, a festering being drawing everyone back
into its squalid labyrinth of generational vendettas.)”
