Family Ties by Clarice Lispector
The silent rage that seizes a matriarch whose family is feting her eighty-ninth year. The tangle of emotions felt by a sophisticated young woman toward her elderly mother. An adolescent girl's obsessive fear of being looked at. The 'giddying sense of compassion' that a blind man introduces into a young housewife's settled existence. Of such is made the world of Clarice Lispector, the Brazilian writer whose finest works acknowledged to be her exquisitely crafted short stories. Here in these thirteen of Lospector's most brilliantly conceived stories, mysterious and unexpected moments of crisis propel characters to self-discovery or keenly felt intuitions about the human condition.-

Seven Interpretive Essays on Peruvian Reality
