Elena Ferrante is a pen name, she - actually you can't use her, after all, Ferrante himself has never appeared, and no one even knows whether Ferrante is a boy or a girl, so we can only judge from the pen name and writing

The style infers that she is probably a female writer.

But when Umberto mentioned Elena Ferrante just now, he very clearly mentioned that Ferrante is a female writer.

Is this Umberto's own inference, or does Umberto know Elena Ferrante personally?

Yu Dong glanced at Amberto and suddenly became interested.

Everyone is curious, and Yu Dong is no exception. He also wants to know who this mysterious writer who has never appeared in front of others is.

"Mr. Eco knows this Elena Ferrante?" Yu Dong asked.

Amberto nodded, "I know you."

"If you have the chance, you can invite her out and chat with us. I am also very interested in the new generation of writers in your country."

Yu Dong noticed that when Rossi translated this sentence to Umberto, Umberto unconsciously glanced at Anita Laha next to him, but Laha suddenly lowered his head, as if

She didn't want others to see her expression, she was hiding something.

Seeing this scene, Yu Dong squinted his eyes, and he suddenly realized that things had become interesting.

Could it be that Anita and Ferrante also knew each other, or even...even that she was Ferrante?

Yu Dong looked at Anita with interest for a while, then smiled and said, "Miss Raha, what is your usual work content at the publishing house?"

Anita raised her head, pushed up her glasses, and smiled: "As a consultant, I actually have very little work, and I don't have to stay at the publishing house. I usually do my work at home, and I also do some translation work.

"

"Oh, then which language do you translate?"

“German to Italian.”

Umberto next to him interjected: "Anita mainly translates the works of Christa Wolf."

Christa Wolf... Yu Dong couldn't help but smile. He knew Christa Wolf. She was a very well-known female writer in Germany.

Speaking of which, the styles of Ferrante's and Christa Wolf's works are quite similar.

The possibility that Anita Raha is Ferrante has increased.

…

Later, Yu Dong kept asking insinuating questions about things related to Ferrante, but then Umberto and the others were reluctant to talk and began to change the topic.

Seeing that they changed the topic, Yu Dong did not continue to ask any more questions, otherwise it would have been too strange.

In fact, in Umberto's view, Yu Dong kept asking for some information about Ferrante, which made him feel that Yu Dong was very strange. After all, it was the first time Yu Dong heard the name Ferrante and he had never seen her.
