clarice lispector has such a way of writing like nobody else has ever written before

What an odd little book. The plot is completely depressing, and yet I smiled my way through it, and felt immeasurably refreshed. How? No idea. I felt like I'd been gently mocked by a close friend, teased out of a bad mood into laughter about how terrible the world is.

In other words, I needed it.

Quién no se ha preguntado: ¿soy un monstruo o esto es ser una persona? 
Quiero antes asegurar que esa muchacha solo se conoce por su vivir sin rumbo. Si tuviera la estupor de preguntarse “¿quién soy yo?”, caería estampada y de golpe en el suelo. Es que “¿quién soy yo?” provoca necesidad. Y ¿cómo satisfacer esa necesidad? Quien se pregunta está incompleto.

This is a masterclass in storytelling and portraying emotions in many layers. Another great work of hers.
