![]() Lila is a sharp girl while Lenù is a shy one. Lila and Lenù, rooted in a rather poorer suburb of Naples, are two girls whose life is explored from childhood to adolescence in My Brilliant Friend. Television though has extensively evolved over the ages, especially with a wide range of genres, My Brilliant Friend still stands out in its depiction of baroque female friendship and queer desire. Elena Ferrante herself is very intricately complex- using a pseudonym the author has touched hearts with her remarkable literary reflection of women- My Brilliant Friend similarly, is a peculiar text to engage with, which not only keeps one hooked to the books but if browsed on screen, HBO adaptation of the first book has eight episodes covering the sixty two chapters of the novel, the expressiveness of the tumultuous simplicity and the queerness in the female friendship of Lila and Lenù makes a lasting impact. My Brilliant Friend, now an HBO adaptation for television, is the first novel in a series of four by Italian author Elena Ferrante. ![]()
