Near to the Wild Heart by Clarice Lispector

DID NOT FINISH: 64%

---

I've heard that this book is amazing. I don't know if I just don't get it, or if I'm simply too dense to get it, but I genuinely didn't enjoy a single one of the 123 pages I did read. I sincerely tried to pick it up again, and couldn't stomach the first paragraph of entirely metaphorical nonsense. There reaches a point where I just cannot handle 60% metaphor, 35% internal dialogue, and 5% anything else happening.
