my brilliant friend
from dissecting the brilliance of Ann Goldstein's translation to brief mentions of Italian cultural icons like the Lizzie McGuire movie and Stefano from A Series of Unfortunate Events, we're leaving no stone unturned.
can we relate to Lila and Elena's adventures as much as we relate to Lizzie's Roman holiday? let’s find out!
so grab your espresso and channel your inner Italian stallion as we laugh, cry, and discuss all things "My Brilliant Friend."
tune in and let's get lost in translation together!
