I am so glad that ya'all did this (because, now, I'm going to reread the novel; yes: immediately)! Roz is my Lespector reading pard, and this was our third, and it was great having your expertise, and two different translations, along. You guys _ROCK!_ 👨🎤🤘👩🎤
Krypto: Great points about this being her "fictional autobiography," and the Joyce refs. (I'd reread it w/the Pontiero; Roz and I read the NDP translation.)
Raduan Nassar with "Lavoura Arcaica" (Ancient tillage) and Guimaraes Rosa with "Sagarana" was definitely bigger and wilder debut. Even Raquel de Queiroz, with "O Quinze" had a bigger impact in brazilian literature i think. (opinion as a brazilian)
I'm discovering João Guimarães Rosa, and it's mindblowing! I'm reading "Grande Sertão: Veredas", after get contact with a short story book of his called "Primeiras Estórias". The way that he uses Portuguese, to get to his expression, is something genuinly unique. He is indeed a wizard. It's beatiful, and deep, with all the subjects that the great literature deals with. There is good translations of his work to English? Because is a difficult work to translate hahahah He is maybe the best writer of Brazil, after Machado de Assis (and he was born in the same year that Machado died, 1908 😱); and he was a contemporary of Clarice.

You consistently make me want to be a better, smarter, and more active reader. Both of you. And your smartness.
You're already a great reader! Can we handle a better you?
I’m reading The Apple In The Dark right now. I love it, but I don’t remember the last time I read a book this hard.
I’m definitely looking forward to picking that up!!
It's definitely my favourite book in the whole world.
Might give this one a go once I finish working through her short story collection.
I can't wait to get to her other novels.

It was a hoot sir!
É melancólico ver como os lusitanos não valorizam as nossas estrelas nacionais😢...
Oh my goodness so excited about this one!
🤗
Def. Getting Pontiero!
I hope you enjoy

I’ll have to check them out. I was thinking of reading some Machado de Assis next. Thanks for sharing.
