In "The Lying Life of Adults," Elena Ferrante tells a story about the transition from childhood to adolescence to adulthood. The protagonist, Giovanna, is searching for her reflection in two kindred cities that fear and detest one another: Naples of the heights, which assumes a mask of refinement, and Naples of the depths, a place of excess and vulgarity. She moves from one to the other in search of the truth, but neither city seems to offer answers or escape.
