The Foreign Legion Summary

The Foreign Legion by Clarice Lispector

The Foreign Legion is a collection in two parts, gathering both stories and chronicles, and it offers wonderful evidence of Clarice Lispector's unique sensibility and range as an exponent of experimental prose. It opens with thirteen stories and the second part of the book presents her newspaper cronicas, which Lispector said she retrieved from a bottom drawer.

About Clarice Lispector

Clarice Lispector (1920-1977), the greatest Brazilian writer of the twentieth century, has been called astounding (Rachel Kushner), a penetrating genius (Donna Seaman, Booklist), and one of the twentieth century's most mysterious writers (Orhan Pamuk). Giovanni Pontiero (1932-1996) was the ablest translator of twentieth century literature in Portuguese and one of its most ardent advocates. He was the principal translator into English of the works of Jose Saramago and was awarded the Teixeira-Gomes Prize for his translation of The Gospel According to Jesus Christ.
