Selected Cronicas by Clarice Lispector
In 1967, Brazil's leading newspaper asked the avant-garde writer Lispector to write a weekly column on any topic she wished. For almost seven years, Lispector showed Brazilian readers just how vast and passionate her interests were. This beautifully translated collection of selected columns, or cronicas, is just as immediately stimulating today and ably reinforces her reputation as one of Brazil's greatest writers. Indeed, these columns should establish her as being among the era's most brilliant essayists. She is masterful, even reminiscent of Montaigne, in her ability to spin the mundane events of life into moments of clarity that reveal greater truths. Publishers WeeklyClarice Lispector (1920-1977), the finest Brazilian writer of the twentieth century, has been described as amazing by Rachel Kushner, a penetrating talent by Donna Seaman of Booklist, and one of the most intriguing writers of the twentieth century by Orhan Pamuk.
