Reviews

Some of the most exquisite writing on the nature of life, death, and time that I’ve ever read. There is no story - within this book are poetic and philosophical lamentations or investigations on life; a human’s frenzied search for meaning. Sharp imagery matched with profound insight. It’s a meditative, introspective, and deeply personal reading experience.

It's so hard to classify this book: memoir; poetic fever dream; Barthesian examination of reality, identity, self. Lispector seduces you (or "you") with her musings, like a romance, enchanting you with her exquisitely minimal language.
