I usually find it boring (for lack of a better word) to read a book with a narrator I cannot relate to, but for this book it was exactly the fact that I did not relate to the narrator that opened my eyes and that made me see everything I saw in this. It was really inspiring and thought provoking and I think it was for exactly this reason

Eu queria ter curtido mais esse livro e dado 5 estrelinhas, mas não deu... apesar de ser uma das coisas mais bem escritas e geniais que eu já li em português, não rolou amor...

Really felt like a treasure many treasures. Direct contact with the world, mindfulness, talking of letting go of hope, interpretation etc. 'I want the present time that has no promise'. 'Green, green, - green is a yard'. 'Eleven o'clock if full of eleven hours up to the brim of the green glass'. Like?
Mystical and sometimes silly. There are 5-star paragraphs of meditations on faith and humanity, and then there are 1-star paragraphs on the same things. The translator commented that it’s much more musical in the original Portuguese, but i don’t think i have the patience to listen
Ok this is how I end the year--
I had to restart this. I had the most trouble with this Lispector because of the rhythm I think. It's a hard one to pause and come back to... but once you're in it, you're in it. Was this a meditation? A prayer? A confession? Genesis rewritten? Genesis, but death...? Or at its simplest; it was an inventory (a room, a wardrobe, a cockroach, and a woman).
