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.
Pois que dedico esta coisa aí ao antigo Schumann e sua doce Clara que são hoje ossos, ai de nós. Dedico-me à cor rubra muito escarlate como o meu sangue de homem em plena idade e portanto dedico-me a meu sangue. Dedico-me sobretudo aos gnomos, anõe...

評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...

作者遣詞用句,實在有趣。故事近乎為零,所以纔能在敘事上玩齣如此花樣吧。

评分中間耽擱瞭幾天,總算是讀完瞭。最後一部分讀的太悲傷瞭。不知道說什麼好,很多東西纏繞在腦子裏。
评分A life that reduced itself to its primitive state. Who can tell if she wasn't needing to die?
