brite_girl 's review for:
An Apprenticeship, or the Book of Pleasures
by Clarice Lispector
things I can do:
“-eat — look at fruit in the market — see peoples faces — feel love — feel hate — have something not known and feel an unbearable suffering — wait impatiently for the beloved — sea — go into the sea — buy a new swimsuit — make coffee — look at objects — listen to music — holding hands — irritation — be right — not be right and give in to someone who is — be forgiven for the vanity of living — be a woman — do myself credit — laugh at the absurdity of my condition — have no choice — have a choice…”
I love Clarice Lispector!!! I’m in love with her!!! I do not love Ulisses, and Lori could do much better, and STILL this is one of the greatest books about love I have ever read. Lispector’s way of playing with words and form in an abstract way captures and admits failure to capture the ineffable. This book consumes contradictions for breakfast. I’m blown away.
