É, realmente, um soco no estômago. Com a velocidade de um Lomachenko e a potência de um Sam Langford: “When Sam hit me to the body, I looked behind me to see if his fist had come out the other side”. Pois, se o estilo é o homem, não foi só punho, mas Clarice inteirinha me atravessou, peito, veias, até às cordas vocais. Um soco estranhíssimo, em que alguém lhe diz quando, como e onde lhe golpeará, narra enquanto o faz, e, ainda sim, saber tudo isso em nada o alivia ou o prepara para o derradeiro — talvez o torne até torne mais incisivo. "E agora — agora só me resta acender um cigarro e ir para casa. Meu Deus, só agora me lembrei que a gente morre. Mas — mas eu também?! Feliz dia das mães. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Narrated by the cosmopolitan Rodrigo S.M., this brief, strange, and haunting tale is the story of Macabéa, one of life's unfortunates. Living in the slums of Rio and eking out a poor living as a typist, Macabéa loves movies, Coca-Colas, and her rat of a boyfriend; she would like to be like Marilyn Monroe, but she is ugly, underfed, sickly and unloved. Rodrigo recoils from her wretchedness, and yet he cannot avoid the realization that for all her outward misery, Macabéa is inwardly free/She doesn't seem to know how unhappy she should be. Lispector employs her pathetic heroine against her urbane, empty narrator--edge of despair to edge of despair--and, working them like a pair of scissors, she cuts away the reader's preconceived notions about poverty, identity, love and the art of fiction. In her last book she takes readers close to the true mystery of life and leave us deep in Lispector territory indeed. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

The Hour of the Star is a tale of a girl called Macabéa who has every reason to be unhappy, but isn’t. At the hands of a cruel fate, she ploughs on, oblivious to how sad her life is, listening to the radio clock and drinking coca-cola. We are touched by both her innocence and ignorance; through her pitiful existence we contemplate our own humility and gratefulness for what we have, as well as how we treat others who have less than ourselves. For such a short book, it encapsulates a lot of life and the human condition. This is a book and a character that will leave an impression - highly recommended! ( )
