Reply to comment by CrazyCatLady108 in Some not so Brief Thoughts on the Neapolitan Novels by Elena Ferrante by edward_radical

You not liking the essay is not the same thing as it being off-topic, but I don't suppose your mind will be changed

I have no opinion on your essay one way or another, I am just asking you to keep the post on topic. Family traditions and toxic friendships can be part of your post, but the focus must still be books/series.

Digressions about friendship and family make up the bulk of the series. I'm using the essay a bit as a mirror to the novels to make a point about the novels.

It seems to be a stylistic disagreement here, which isn't especially fruitful.

Perhaps. Still, your post, as it is now, is more appropriate for a personal blog or a writing exercise.
