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.
