Not my favorite of the Clarice Lispector books, but still finished in a day. I prefer her storytelling that dives deep into the mind, twisting and turning through the psyche, rather than stating a narrative, though it still did have the raw, primitive Lispector touch.

No es justo que Lispector te interpele en cada párrafo de manera tan atinada y directa. Como si supiese exactamente dónde y cuándo apuñalar para que duela lo suficiente sin ser una herida mortal, porque necesita que llegues vivo al final y recibas esa última estocada.

Pese a que el libro pareciera tardar en arrancar, (el narrador deriva considerablemente en cuestionarse por qué, para qué y cómo contar la historia a medida que la va construyendo) todas las preguntas que plantea, todas las cuestiones que despliega, de alguna manera obtienen respuesta aunque estas no sean desplegadas con la atinación con la que las preguntas iniciales asi se expresan.

También es un libro que deja la suficiente cantidad de cuestionamientos abiertos a merced del lector. Breve pero potente. Muy triste. Leer con precaución.

En resumen: Pobre Macabea. Pobre nosotros.

Not my cup of tea

Astonishingly weird and while a few gems stuck out to me from this work, I did not enjoy reading it. Her style has been praised as unique but it is perhaps just not for me. The story and the style both to me seem lazy and incomplete so if she is a genius, she isn't the kind of genius I can instantly recognize. Approach this one with caution, I'd say.
