what an odd little book. it was quite funny and i'm going to need to spend some time thinking on, well, all of it lol. the way she writes (which i believe is portrayed fairly well in this translated version such that it remains faithful to the original text) has such an interesting, stream-of-consciousness-esque style! it was overall a somewhat sad story but the humor made it very engaging and enjoyable all the same! i'd like to read more of lispector's work 👀

I enjoyed that so much. Gotta love a weird unreliable narrator who suffers from existential agony. He couldn't help but keep going back to himself. The story isn't about you dude! Good shit though.
