Clarice Lispector trolls Guy in Your MFA like 50 years before it exists. What a weird, goofy little book.

Hyper intelligent meta-fiction that made me feel dumb and jealous for not having written it and gracious for how completely inside the narrative she positions us. I’ve just become a full blown Lispector-head

Wow. I think I need to sit with this one a bit more. A short read, but it's dense. The language really reeled me in, in a way that is atypical for me. Might need need to sit down and write out some quotes. Loved all of the titles.

I want to sit silently next to her on a meadow.
