So grateful for this post, thank you. Lispector is new to me but I honestly related so much to that quote that I have instantly ordered this book which is not something I normally do on my income!

Did you buy your copy of Too Much of Life in Saint Georges? That's where I got mine and the book seller there told me the same thing ;) Lovely piece, lovely Lispector ✨

That fleeting feeling of being present and absorbed and carried away. Thank you for the Lispector nudge.

I return her writing again and again. The great thing about this particular collection is you can just pick up anywhere and get the same dazzling effect.
