Hard to say too much about a boom without plot or characters, but in reading it came at a nice time after Moby Dick. Sometimes fun to float along through something that doesn’t have a particular destination in mind, and some nice passages throughout to think on.

Admittedly nonsense. Anachronistic 1970s rebellion culture garbage "poetry." Could be read in any order, but it's better not read at all.

I am what I am,— Clarice "I'm a bitch, I'm a lover, I'm a child, I'm a mother, I'm a sinner, I'm a saint, I do not feel ashamed, I'm your hell, I'm your dream, I'm nothing in between" Lispector
I am sinful I am virtuous,
I am filth I am unstained,
I am ugly I am beautiful,
I am chaos I am order,
I am despair I am exultation,
I am black I am white,
I am privileged I am underprivileged,
I am fortune I am unfortune,
I am fire I am water,
I am tree I am obelisk,
I am earth I am sky,
I am the Sun I am the Moon,
I am fragment I am the whole,
I am extinct I am existing,
I am created I am annihilated,
I am known I am unknown,
I am success I am failure,
I am body I am soul,
I am logic I am nonsense,
I am captive I am free,
I am sorrow I am joy,
I am devil I am god,
I am heaven I am hell,
I am consciousness I am unconsciousness,
I am existence I am nothingness,
I am intermittent I am perpetual,
I am moment I am forever,
I was ever I will be ever,
I am dead I am alive,
I am death I am life,
I am finite I am infinite,
I am what universe comprises of
I am what universe is: I am the universe.

Lispector'ın tarzı aynı kafam çok karışık olduğu zamanlarda yazdığım yarım yamalak, bir türlü tamamlanmayan cümlelerim/dosyalarım gibi. Belki de bu yüzden kendime yakın ve daha kızgın hissediyorum çünkü elime aldığım her kitabında yazarın favorim olmasını diliyorum/istiyorum, olmuyor.
Beklenti düşman resmen. Ressssmen.
Gol değil.

I find it so ridiculous to believe that this book was published 3 years before Cixous’ Laugh of the Medusa. This book exercises so many of the elements that would definite “feminine ecriture”. Incredible.
