Críticas:
The elusive genius who dramatized a fractured interior world in rich, synesthetic prose.--Megan O'Grady
Clarice Lispector is the premier Latin American prose writer of the century.
To fans, Lispector is simply 'Clarice, ' like Cher or Madonna or her countryman, Pele.--Brenda Cronin
Startlingly innovative.--Elissa Shappel
A genius on the level of Nabokov.--Jeff VanderMeer
Writing to prolong a life at its end, Lispector increasingly writes in the creases of time.--Ava Kofman
Her long-awaited arrival -- of which this is only the beginning -- might be compared to the translation and publication of Kafka's work in early 1940s.
Lispector reads with lively intelligence and is terrifically funny. Language, for her, was the self''s light.--Lorrie Moore
For readers who worship at the altar of Lispector, the appearance of new work in translation is an event...Calling the release of Lispector's Complete Stories in English an ''epiphany'' in its promotional copy may sound like hyperbole. It's not.
Through these 85 stories, these mini invasions, it's apparent that yes, Clarice Lispector was indeed a singular artist. Decades after her death, she continues to champion the possibilities of language, and its ability to mesmerize.--Juan Vidal
Reseña del editor:
The recent publication by New Directions of five Lispector novels revealed to legions of new readers her darkness and dazzle. Now, for the first time in English, are all the stories that made her a Brazilian legend: from teenagers coming into awareness of their sexual and artistic powers to humdrum housewives whose lives are shattered by unexpected epiphanies to old people who don’t know what to do with themselves. Clarice’s stories take us through their lives—and ours.From one of the greatest modern writers, these stories, gathered from the nine collections published during her lifetime, follow an unbroken time line of success as a writer, from her adolescence to her death bed.
