this was so confusing, i think it went over my head.
the narrator is a creep i didn't like him. he had some interesting things to say about storytelling but i wasn't invested in the meandering plot or the characters. lispector's writing is objectively very good, her style is unique and powerful. i would love to try more of her work but this just isn't for me.
