Allora, tutti! Come in from the piazza, put down your panini, pause your shoemaking for just a second, and please imagine hearing this news from someone gesticulating wildly: A new Elena Ferrante novel is coming.

According to a new announcement, the English translation of the book is set to be published on June 9, 2020, under the title The Lying Life of Adults. (It will be published in Italy on November 7, 2019, so if you don’t feel like waiting seven months, you can always try to very quickly learn Italian.)
