Ok, I like the writer a lot, but I feel like i didn't quite like this one?!....
It goes on and off a lot and it's a bit boring, maybe I'm missing something, maybe I'm not that smart? Kto wie?!

At the surface, this is a book about a woman, a sculptress, who walks into her maid’s room and witnesses the death of a cockroach.
But that’s the genius of compelling literature, isn’t it. There’s always so much more, so so much more, beneath the surface for those who dare to take a swim.
Must read. Must discuss.

“A writer named Clarice Lispector. I had never heard of her . . . I glanced at some fragments, I was dazzled, I took it to be a wonderful accident. And then as I went on in the text I discovered an immense writer . . .
I discovered Kafka and it was a woman.”

En yhtään tiedä mitä juuri luin, mutta hurjan vaikuttunut olen. Ja kiitollinen suomentajan jälkisanoista, jotka auttoivat kirjan suhteen hurjasti.
Vaativa, vaikuttava ja vahva teos, klassikko, jonka pariin täytynee palata muutamankin kerran, ennen kuin kaikki osat löytävät paikkansa, ja oma ymmärrykseni myös niiden seassa. Olen hämmentynyt, mutta silti lumoutunut, tässä kirjassa jokainen sana ja jokainen lause oli niin merkityksellinen, että teki mieli alleviivata koko kirja.
