Unmasking Italian author Elena Ferrante, because we must
There's been yet more speculation as to the identity of the Italian author known as Elena Ferrante. The writer of novels including the Neapolitan Quartet, and The Lying Lives of Adults, has always been upfront about their use of a pseudonym. And despite writing novels since 1992, her identity, their identity, has, so far, remained a mystery. Nonetheless, the resolve to unmask the person, or persons, behind the works written under the name of Elena Ferrante, refuses to wane. Of course […]https://disassociated.com/unmasking-italian-author-elena-ferrante/

WHAT am I reading?
Just Finished 'The Viaduct Killings' by Wes Markin. Cosy crime set in my home county of Yorkshire. Nice easy reading & I'll read another of Wes's books, which says something, I guess.
Currently reading 'Ancient Rome' by Simon Baker. It's remarkable how similar the power structures are today to those that brought Rome to power & destroyed it. A self serving elite that craved power & influence over everything, rising inequality between those who have & those who didn't... and so on. It's a lesson to us all & a good read, if a bit heavy in places.

Happy International Cat Day! Just received my first bad review on my book GOOSE CREEK HOLLER. Pretty harsh, and while I get where the reviewer is coming from, did he actually read the part about the other Southern delicacies consumed by the Appalachian family of Buchnells? It also starts with a "G". I think not, or he might have given a more favorable review and at least a one paw up. And it's hollar, not holler, Mr. Harrison. Sheesh, reviewers. #cats #cat #bookReview #reviews #review #mastodon #fediverse #books #booksky #bookstodon #book #humor #fun #caturday #saturday #goose #goosecreekholler #sophiajanehayden #novels #novel #Southern #Appalachia #Appalachian #mysteryThriller #mystery #writingCommunity #writing #writer #writers #scribesAndMakers #writingCommunity #reading #read #readersofmastodon #readingCommunity #readin2026 #felines #harrison #catskills #words #iamwriting

Writers and readers of Mastodon! What are your favorite 'guilty pleasure' fantasy, horror, or sci-fi tropes?
A big one for me is magic systems that require a flowchart to understand 😅

🧵 1/3
The Forty Days of Musa Dagh -- Franz Werfel
I read this 1933 novel a little while ago. It's a long, one might almost say sprawling, fiction of an Armenian community's 1915 resistance to the genocide enacted by the.Young Turks.
The narrative of a community under siege is gripping, but the novel also deals with complex themes of identity, community, and nationality. As one might expect from a German speaking Jew who grew up in the capital of the Czech lands of Austria-Hungary, Werfel's treatment of the themes of nationalism and cosmopolitanism are, thankfully, never simplistic.
Obviously , much of the book's significance rests on it being an early literary response to the Armenian genocide. I'm sure that a horrified desire to learn about this campaign of persecution, exile, and killing accounts for much of the success that this book achieved in the US market on its publication in 1934. A readiness to learn about a gruesome episode in the "war to end all wars" probably played a part too in boosting sales.
I would also hazard a guess that for many readers in the thirties, the novel's story of a community's survival, albeit at a terrible price, could be seen as a parallel for the survival by individuals,families, and cities of the unprecedented hardships and upheavals of the Great Depression. The success of "Gone With The Wind" comes to mind.
Another parallel that now seems eerily prescient is that of...
