Wow! Such variety. What do you remember of # 32? :)

Feb. 8, 2014, 3:53 pm

It was Clarice Lispector's first novel (at the age of 23!) but her authorial voice was fully formed and Near to the Wild Heart is totally representative of her future work. While the later novels that I've read were extraordinarily meditative this one lacks only that level of narrative focus to achieve the same quality of gravitas. As swiftly as things moved along, the coherent perspective and brilliance of the writer still make an easy recommendation.
