{"product_id":"9781609455583","title":"Incidental Inventions","description":"'This is my last column, after a year that has scared and inspired me.' \n\nWith these words, Elena Ferrante, the bestselling author of \u003cspan style=\"font-style:italic;\"\u003eMy Brilliant Friend\u003c\/span\u003e, bid farewell to her year-long collaboration with the Guardian. \n\nFor a full year she penned short pieces, the subjects of which were suggested by editors at the Guardian, turning the writing process into a kind of prolonged interlocution; the subjects ranged from first love to climate change, from enmity among women to the adaptation of her novels to film and TV. As she said in her final column: '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.' Here, then, are the seeds of possible future novels, the ruminations of an internationally beloved author, and the abiding preoccupations of a writer who has been called 'one of the great novelists of our time' (the New York Times). \n\nGathered here in a beautiful gift edition and accompanied by a new, original introduction by the author and Andrea Ucini’s intelligent, witty, and beautiful illustrations, this is a must for all Ferrante fans.","brand":"Europa Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48818996904171,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":36.62,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9781609455583-1.jpg?v=1781693135","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/ja\/products\/9781609455583","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
