Muito profundo. Não estou com vontade de ler um monte de pensamentos profundos. Para isso, lia poesia.

I truly enjoy Lispector's prose and the overall freeform of this book, but it's not my favorite of hers.

This book is a winding path where you're not sure where you're going, where you'll stop, or where this even ends. That's the beauty of this slim book, and while there were times where I was unsure, I think that reflects what Lispector herself was feeling. This one truly immerses the reader into the quick, reflective, and almost impulsive thought process of Lispector and how or maybe why she writes.
