Sem necessidade de muitos comentários. Uma obra prima. Reli agora nas férias. A simplicidade é tanta, que nem parece Clarice. Mas a mensagem é tão dolorosa que não poderia ter sido outra pessoa a escrevê-la.
I quite enjoyed this.
You’ll feel a constant aching throughout this book, but despite the perpetual wade through layers of self and “the void”, felt incredible hopeful. Or maybe what hope has to be. The narrator’s self bleeding into Macabeá(and presumably Lispector’s into the narrator) is quite beautiful. I enjoyed the punctuation uses, which to the translators effort(see afterward) capture the Portuguese original’s uncanny yet clear intentions.
Oh Olímpico and Gloria.. You are just as much products of your time and will each have your hour too.
I can tell there’s a lot that went over my head. After a few years time and reading some of her other work I will probably pick this one back up.(explosion!)
This one I really do recommend if the interest strikes.

Very weird story, but it is written on the premise that to be seen is to be loved

a transformative read. lispector's writing is sincere and gripping, filled with wit and honesty.
as a reader, i feel like i'm part of the narrative, trying to make sense of the character's reflections and sensibilities alongside the author. the sentences flow effortlessly, making it seem like the story is revealing itself word by word. the plot doesn't point out anything out of the ordinary, yet it goes inward, touching on intimate human reflections and sentiments. it highlights life's mundanity and its quiet complexity in a way that feels both subtle and profound—a simple and unknowing life with a still yet epiphanic conclusion.
this book isn't just something you read. it's something you experience and keep thinking about long after you've finished. it leaves a lasting impression, making you reflect on your own outward existence and your built inner world.
