Description: In the magnificent feast of Clarice Lispector's books, her crônicas--short, intensely vivid newspaper pieces--are the delicious canapés
Brief description: Margaret Jull Costa and Robin Patterson have translated the work of Lúcio Cardoso, Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen, and Clarice Lispector, among others. They live in England.
Review Quotes: Funny, dark, whimsical, intimate, and always self-questioning, the crônicas seemed to touch everything: reflections on writing, motherhood, the seasons, depression, love, suffering, death."--Jared Marcel Pollen "The Yale Review"
