Description: Clarice Lispector's best-selling masterpiece--"her finest book" (The Nation)--now in a special hardcover edition to celebrate the centenary of her birth, with an illuminating new afterword by her son
Brief description: Clarice Lispector (1920-1977), the greatest Brazilian writer of the twentieth century, has been called "astounding" (Rachel Kushner), "a penetrating genius" (Donna Seaman, Booklist), and "one of the twentieth century's most mysterious writers" (Orhan Pamuk).
Review Quotes: Every page vibrates with feeling. It's not enough to say that Lispector bends language or uses words in new ways. Plenty of modernists do that. No one else writes prose this rich.--Lily Meyer "NPR"
