Clarice Lispector (1925-1977), the author of such works as Near to the Wild Heart, The Hour of the Star, and The Passion According to G. H., is the internationally acclaimed novelist and short-story writer from Brazil and the subject of Benjamin Moser’s magisterial biography Why This World.
Series editor Benjamin Moser, who contributes afterwords for all four of these new translations, is the author of Why This World: A Biography of Clarice Lispector, due out in paperback from Oxford University Press in May 2012. He also just completed a new translation of Lispector’s The Hour of the Star.
The Irish author Colm Tóibín’s most recent novel, the bestselling Brooklyn, won the 2010 Costa Fiction Award.
The Hour of the Star, Clarice Lispector’s consummate final novel, may well be her masterpiece. Narrated by the cosmopolitan Rodrigo S.M., this brief, strange, and haunting tale is the story of Macabéa, one of life’s unfortunates. Living in the slums of Rio and eking out a poor living as a typist, Macabéa loves movies, Coca-Cola, and her rat of a boyfriend; she would like to be like Marilyn Monroe, but she is ugly, underfed, sickly, and unloved. Rodrigo recoils from her wretchedness, and yet he cannot avoid the realization that for all her outward misery, Macabéa is inwardly free. She doesn’t seem to know how unhappy she should be. As Macabéa heads toward her absurd death, Lispector employs her pathetic heroine against her urbane, empty narrator—edge of despair to edge of despair—and, working them like a pair of scissors, she cuts away the reader’s preconceived notions about poverty, identity, love, and the art of fiction. In her last book she takes readers close to the true mystery of life and leaves us deep in Lispector territory indeed.
《星辰时刻》应答了我这些日子无法说出的,顺着它的力,我也流出了下面这些油。 这些夜晚,我就像守着泥泞里的石头(或我已经置身其中),我无法,也不渴望靠一个夜晚、两个夜晚、或无数个白天来把它弄出个所以然来。那个夹角里的东西是令我恐惧的,但我还是一次次地,站过去。...
评分闵姐姐: 同城见信如面。我仍是无法抑制地想再和您谈一下李斯佩克朵的《星辰时刻》。那天我坐在五道口城铁站的长凳上,恋恋不舍地读完最后一页,现在也是草莓季,人群如海,我陷落在城市最幽暗的底部,陷落于这本书和她,也包括她的姓名。尽管上次您已经告诉我,大家都是...

评分从未见过哪个女性作家这么意识流而残忍地书写现实人生,克拉丽丝·李斯佩克朵的写作笔触是非常风格独特的。作为一个女性,也许和她生活的国境和时代有关,她可没有《微妙》那般的碎碎欢悦小清新,也不会有《天黑前的夏天》那般病态呓语。 如果你不带着沉静和空白的心去读,你很...
评分中间耽搁了几天,总算是读完了。最后一部分读的太悲伤了。不知道说什么好,很多东西缠绕在脑子里。
评分作者遣词用句,实在有趣。故事近乎为零,所以才能在叙事上玩出如此花样吧。
评分技巧、品味、文字风格都是有的,南美版卖火柴的小女孩之类。只是完全不对我的胃。两星不是说书的水平。客观来说三星差不多有。两星是我的阅读体验。-_- 本来想音乐节时跟Tiago他们吹吹,最近看了他们一本小说之类。既然打了两星,还是不要开口了。[开篇竟然逼逼了15页才“缓缓”开讲,以至于到最后看到“好了,我要开讲了”就知道她肯定又要绕到别处去,已经隐约在抓狂。如果不是火车晚点困于车站肯定早就扔掉了。]
评分My favorite novella of the year!!! YES. Everything starts and ends with a "yes". (Explosion)
