“On the edge of beatitude”, indeed.

A barrage of instants to accumulate a whole, or a hole. Proof of life and living.

Slow and speedy, intricate negotiations of the inner-outer. At times overwhelming, at times unexpectedly warm and hopeful.

I am left feeling like the oyster Lispector has squirted lemon on.

It's either five stars or zero stars. Basically, I don't think this is a book that's possible to rate. However, I think it would look harsh if I gave it zero, so five it is.

I will have to reread this one. I can not formulate an opinion on it other than that the prose is beautiful.
