I enjoyed that so much. Gotta love a weird unreliable narrator who suffers from existential agony. He couldn't help but keep going back to himself. The story isn't about you dude! Good shit though.

o narrador é.. por falta de vocabulário.. completamente tonhão

Spoiler

no final não sabia se ele queria foder a macabéa ou se matar junto com ela

já a macabéa uma personagem muito interessante de se acompanhar
a releitura desse aqui daqui uns 5 ou 10 anos vai barbarizar

I don’t think I have ever read anything like this book before. I’m biased, because I see a Brazilian author and I’m almost predisposed to love it… but there’s no denying the fact that Lispector has one of the strangest, most distinctive voices of any author I’ve read from. I haven’t stopped thinking about it.
