A boundary-breaking, riveting romance narrative from the seminal Brazilian writer, Clarice Lispector
Clarice Lispector (Author)
Clarice Lispector was a Brazilian novelist and short-story writer.
Her innovation in fiction brought her international renown. She was
born in the Ukraine in 1920, but in the aftermath of World War I
and the Russian Civil War, the family fled to Romania and
eventually Brazil. She published her first novel, Near to the
Wildheart, in 1943, when she was just twenty-three, and the next
year was awarded the Gra a Aranha Prize for the best first novel.
She died in 1977, shortly after the publication of her final novel,
The Hour of the Star.
Her brilliant and bewildering style is helping me to imagine how to
write again

And how love lies in spaces. In waiting
*Gagosian Quarterly*
Lispector had an ability to write as though no one had ever written
before
