Yes! I love to see Clarice Lispector getting the praise she deserves. Her description of language as a fourth dimension is so apt for the way that she uses it.

The second essay I ever posted on here was actually about Too Much is Life as well - I'd just finished reading it at the time. I'd already read some of her fiction but the domesticity of the crônicas in comparison showed that the effect of her writing was not some kind of witchcrafty subterfuge, but the raw power of an uncannily astute and honest observer. Truly a life-enriching writer.

Gorgeous. As another Clarice superfan, I'm so happy to see her get her flowers. The world holds secrets in the experience of it.
