The Hour of the Star is a wild 20th century Genesis that is oddly beautiful. It starts off with one of the best opening paragraphs in literature, and you should pick up a copy if only to read that much. As that opening paragraph suggests, The Hour is meta, existential, and peculiar, but without taking itself too seriously.

I purchased my copy at Whispering Bookshelf in Indianapolis, IN.

my first Clarice Lispector's book and definitely won't be the last.
