tonika 's review for:
An Apprenticeship, or the Book of Pleasures
by Clarice Lispector
This was a deeply intimate novel. There are definitely some problematic elements, likely due to it being a product of its time (the 70s), but beyond that it’s a beautiful contemplative meditation on existentialism. It’s about learning to fall in love with yourself, the world around you and the ‘simple’ act of existing.
Lispector’s stream-of-consciousness style won’t be for everyone, but for me, this was a really special book.
Ulisses is icky though. But I ignored the romance in order to enjoy it for what it is.
