E-grāmata: Hour of the Star: 100th Anniversary Edition

"Every page vibrates with feeling. Its not enough to say that Lispector bends language or uses words in new ways. Plenty of modernists do that. No one else writes prose this rich." -- Lily Meyer - NPR "Sphinx, sorceress, sacred monster. The revival of the hypnotic Clarice Lispector has been one of the true literary events of the twenty-first century." -- Parul Sehgal - The New York Times "This new translation of The Hour of the Star reveals the mesmerizing force of the revitalized modernists Rio-set tale of a young naļf, who, along with the piquantly intrusive narrator, challenges the readers notions of identity, storytelling, and love." -- Meghan OGrady - Vogue "Most late work has a spectral beauty, a sense of form and content dancing a slow and skillful waltz with each other. Lispector, on the other hand, as she came to the end of her life, wrote as though her life was beginning, with a sense of a need to stir and shake narrative itself to see where it might take her, as the bewildered and original writer that she was, and us, her bewildered and excited readers." -- Colm Tóibķn "Im really obsessed by this writer from Brazil, Clarice Lispector. I love her because she writes whole novels where not one thing happensshe describes the air. I think shes such a great, great novelist." -- John Waters
