Água Viva by Clarice Lispector
5.0

"Não quero ter a terrível limitação de quem vive apenas do que é possível de fazer sentido."

This is a kaleidoscopic book - a stream of consciousness like I've never encountered before. It is hard to follow, it is something to be seen, touched, felt... not understood. It is radical.

This book has no linear history or central theme, no begining and no end. The only thing we know is that the narrator is a painter. Clarice questions life, feelings, words, her being. The zig-zag of her mind is entrancing!

It is a masterpiece and something to be read and read again. It is timeless! Pure Clarice! <3
