5 highlights of the fall books season
NEW YORK — Five highlights of the fall books season, from literary fiction to topical non-fiction:
Elena Ferrante, “The Lying Life of Adults” — The Italian author has become an international favorite through her “Neapolitan Quartet,” including “My Brilliant Friend” and “The Story of the Child.” Her new novel, translated from the Italian by Ann Goldstein, is the story of a teenager who learns the truth of grownup dishonesty, a plot that fits well with Ferrante’s stated beliefs that writing fiction is a way of revealing the truth.
