La prosa es una maravilla y creo que si la autora hubiera escrito la lista de la compra, lo hubiera disfrutado también. Simplemente me ha dejado pensando sobre la posibilidad de experimentar tan plenamente la búsqueda del yo a la par que llegar a comprender desde la vulnerabilidad más cruda y profunda a los demás.
things I can do:
“-eat — look at fruit in the market — see peoples faces — feel love — feel hate — have something not known and feel an unbearable suffering — wait impatiently for the beloved — sea — go into the sea — buy a new swimsuit — make coffee — look at objects — listen to music — holding hands — irritation — be right — not be right and give in to someone who is — be forgiven for the vanity of living — be a woman — do myself credit — laugh at the absurdity of my condition — have no choice — have a choice…”
I love Clarice Lispector!!! I’m in love with her!!! I do not love Ulisses, and Lori could do much better, and STILL this is one of the greatest books about love I have ever read. Lispector’s way of playing with words and form in an abstract way captures and admits failure to capture the ineffable. This book consumes contradictions for breakfast. I’m blown away.

"La patata era la comida por excelencia. Eso lo supo, y era un leve aleluya."
Este libro requiere de una libertad tan grande que da miedo darla. Me sentí recogida en el dolor y el placer y la angustia infinita que es descubrir que en efecto la agonía es más fácil de manejar que los placeres.
Amo a Clarice y una vez más llegó a mi vida con las palabras justas, ininteligibles que solo quién no la lee con atención pretende interpretar: hay que dejar que el pensamiento profundo que no se entiende se quede con una hasta que un día revele la verdad que esconde. Es un libro precioso para nosotras las mujeres jóvenes, las profesoras y amantes de las papas, el mar, el olor a caballero de la noche y el estado de gracia otorgado por "el Dios" en su justa medida para no enloquecernos.
