"a very good book by one of the very best authours of the 20th century, Clarice Lispector. Although I like Stream of Life and Passion according to GH better, this is also a very good book by an author that has yet to be fully recognized as the genius she was."
"Should be as widely read as Camus' The Stranger. Clarice Lispector is mind-blowingly good. Irritating that the translator info isn't included in most of these descriptions; my edition was translated by Gregory Rabassa. He is better with purple prose, which is why he was so good at One Hundred Years of Solitude, but still, he gets Lispector's stark yet incredibly nuanced exploration of interior landscapes across without getting in the way too much."
"By far the best existential novel ever written. Not even any close seconds. I know, I know!! Sartre, Camus, etc, etc.. Trust me ive read and studied all the classics(?) of the genre (both fiction and philosophy). I believe Lispector to be the existentialist par-excellance. I think too many people get interested in a movement and read all the things recommended by bibliographies, friends, etc. They dont really explore in depth. How else can you explain that writers like Lispector, Hedeyat and Bassani never get mentioned. Trust me read "The Apple in the Dark". Read anything by Lispector and you will understand that she is one of the truely existential fiction writers."
