=Book recently read: Selected Cronicas by Clarice Lispector=



This collection of informal stories, reminiscences, anecdotes, reflections, and flights of fantasy were culled from a weekly column Clarice Lispector wrote over a six-year period for a Brazilian newspaper. They could have been blog posts if there’d been such a thing as blogs in the late 60s and early 70s. These wide-ranging pieces offer easier access into Lispector’s complex and original mind than do her notoriously challenging stories and novels. Sometimes chatty, sometimes surreal, they prove again the old adage that a great writer can make any subject interesting and even the ordinary revelatory.
