Vague and precise and floaty and urgent. Inspiring with words and love and the present moment, I loved it.

something remarkable, prose like clear springwater. stream of consciousness style writing which usually isn’t for me, but still enjoyed. would love to see her interact with virginia woolf

O meu primeiro Lispector foi o primeiro Lispector. Nota-se logo que há ali qualquer coisa de diferente e consegue pedaços de prosa muito bons, mas neste livro cansou-me com uma espécie de interminável “cair mais fundo dentro de si própria”. Labiríntico no pior sentido. No entanto, a autora mostra o suficiente para querer ler-lhe outras obras.
