The Lying Of Adults

Everyone’s favorite woman-behind-the-curtain, Elena Ferrante, is back with her newest standalone novel. While I haven’t gotten to crack open my copy yet, I know that the aptly named THE LYING LIFE OF ADULTS explores the cycle of lying between parents and children, who then grow up and lie to their own children. In classic Ferrante fashion, the characters are lying about all the good stuff: sex, infidelity, and the awkward fumblings of adolescents. If you’re looking for a juicy escapist Labor Day read, I just found it for you. You’re welcome.
