“The Lying Life of Adults,” the latest novel by the famously pseudonymous Italian writer Elena Ferrante, has been adapted — one might say inevitably — for the screen as a six-part Netflix series. It follows HBO’s lauded and ongoing “My Brilliant Friend,” based on Ferrante’s “Neapolitan” tetralogy, and three books turned into theatrical features, including last year’s “The Lost Daughter,” directed by Maggie Gyllenhaal.
(One can easily imagine that some studio holds an option on whatever Ferrante is thinking right this second.) Her work — feminist, psychological, sociological, operatic — has the quality of being at once popular and literary, with the sort of vivid characters actors crawl over one another to play.
