“But the skeleton is free of life and when I'm alive I shudder all over. I won't get the final nudity. And I still don't want it, it seems.

This is the life seen by life.â€

I was absorbed this evening drinking in the words of Clarice Lispector. Loving this slim volume although it seems to be less than popular on Litsy.

Maybe the words got lost in translation...because I could not go beyond the first few pages because none of the sentences were making any sense 🤔

Through few years that is my third unsuccessful attempt to read Clarice Lispector ….

BarbaraBB That‘s a pity. I enjoyed her 2y
Simona @BarbaraBB Maybe next time, when my brain capacity will be more strong … I can see the beauty in her sentences, but I can‘t connect with them🤷ðŸ»â€â™€ï¸ 2y
BarbaraBB I wouldn‘t even try if I were you. You gave her a fair chance already 😘 So many books out there! 2y

Dense, stream of consciousness. Narrator addressing former lover? Friend? Exhausted from looking after the world. Alternate realities. Oblique life. Dreams. Time. Freedom. “This instant-now.†Words vs. images. State of grace. Dying a little. “To live this life is more an indirect remembering than a direct living.†Strong translation. 1973, trans. 2012.

a letter to a son. shares themes with Chandelier. short. secrets. the instant. the “disarticulation†of birth. grace. binary opposition. limitation of form. god is irrelevant or a monster. freedom (in death?).

One of the first pages of this book has the line "What I tell you should be read quickly like when you look", so I allowed myself to race through it. Will re-read and underline excessively later, it is for sure well worth coming back to!
