This book has no plot, no content, many words but nothing to say.

(4.5/5) El tipo de conversaciones que tengo conmigo misma en mi cabeza cada noche, jaja.
Amo el simbolismo de la obra. Y muchas frases me impactaron porque son muy parecidas a como las había pensado en cierta parte de mi vida. Me gusta mucho.
//
The kind of conversations I have with myself in my head every night. Haha.
I love the symbolism of the work. And many phrases struck me because they are very alike to what I had thought in a certain part of my life. I love it.

READING VLOG
Mirrors, ants, and chrysanthemums. Oysters, too.
Once again, Lispector has snapped me into a waking dream, one about birth, about the thresholds that bridge birth to the actual state of living.
I'll be honest, in some parts, I felt Lispector's amateurish self paw at the strict dictation that is her supreme self. As if I would've enjoyed this a lot more if I was younger. But as soon as I read it aloud, amonst the branches that shook golden leaves from the loose grips of ginko trees, I began to tear up. I was immediately reminded of a shroom moment I had with myself in the mirror last winter. It felt long-distance, this relationship between me and my reflection in the expanses and limitations of that mirror. I saw my face, the pores, the cold eyes that stared back with tears that dripped of teenage salt and sorrow. I was reminded of the multiple times I've been born through this very short life that has felt way too damn long.
Lispector's meditation reminds me of Plath's voice in
