Don‘t know what happened.
Everybody and their mother is praising this one. But I don’t get it. I must not get it because it seems so straight forward like everything is explained and sure there is a plot but Iw as expecting more than a normal story, also more than a self reflective story where the author/pseudo author ruminates on his powers and decisions.
I really want to read more of her but now I‘m scared…

Me hace falta leer más a Clarice Lispector porque creo que su lenguaje es precioso pero no se me hizo mega maravillosa la historia como suelen comentar de ella.

J’ai pas tout compris mais il y avait de très belles phrases et en fait je crois que c’est okay d’apprécier un livre ou une œuvre d’art sans la comprendre vraiment

I thought I'd get through this slip of a novella in one sitting, after a long work day. Rather, it took me several days. In part, because it demanded more focus than a brain tired from work could give. But mostly because I kept flitting back over passages just read, turning them over in my mind.
I was going to say this story is dense, but that's not quite right. Despite the layered meaning and the weighty themes, Lispector's prose never feels heavy or sluggish. No. It's scintillating. Like a gem catching the light differently as you turn it over in your hands.
Somehow, she's able to tell an interesting story about the dullest girl. To never let you feel sorry for a pathetic little life. And it's so meta, there's barely any story, it's almost all commentary.
I will be thinking about this for a while, and may return to add later ideas.
