i don’t know how to explain this book aside from the fact that my chest hurt and the ending weirdly feels like a hug

Lispector is so frustrating and so oddly original. Everyone must read Lispector at some point.

"Porque en la hora de la muerte uno se vuelve como una brillante estrella de cine, es el instante de gloria de cada uno".
"Hay momentos en que una persona necesita una pequeñita muerte, sin saberlo siquiera".

Agarrava-se a um fiapo de consciência e repetia mentalmente sem cessar: eu sou, eu sou, eu sou. Quem era, é que não sabia. (...) O destino de uma mulher é ser mulher.

“She believed in angels, and because she believed in them, they existed.” What an uncomfortable, weird, interesting, and strangely poetic story about a girl who just was. Her own perspective on her life—combined with her overall naïveté—created an extremely sad yet endearing character. Coupled with the way the narrator discussed her, it was a truly heartbreaking read.
