pearlreads 's review for:

Água Viva by Clarice Lispector
4.0

Read it last night and liked it. 

It reads like an inner monologue, journal entries....the narration is loquacious, delicious and delirious even. You don't know what you'll read in the next paragraph and it could be anything from tulips, turtles, mirrors to just the unbearable despair that merely existing entails. It is a conversation that is erratic, frantic, passionate and despondent all at once. 

If you don't mind reading something that is mostly vibes and brilliant prose, go for it!! 

(also please read the introduction before reading the book if you're one of those people who don't read them)
