About 40 pages in, and I am convinced that Starnone is at least one half of Elena Ferrante, if not more. So many parallels:
The use of the word "ironic" in describing things like glances.
Jumping to the historical present tense to describe traumatic moments.
Describing nameless younger siblings.
Repeatedly referring to reverting to dialect.
