Nada melhor do que terminar um ano com Clarice. Laços de família é uma coleção de contos que entrelaçam famílias, pessoas, animais e sentimentos lá do fundo do nosso ser. Extremamente interessante, mais uma maneira de podermos espiar um pouco como a mente de Clarice Lispector funciona.

Published in 1960, Family Ties highlights Clarice Lispector's prose, perhaps the epitome of her short stories. The narratives in this work constantly use the stream of consciousness, through which we know the characters' most intimate universe. It is a practice that authorizes his literature sometimes to be psychological and occasionally reflective. He had always been caught in his righteousness at the moment when, from the banal everyday life, they reached the mysterious, unusual side, which was different from human existence, even if they could not understand it. In the end, we face stories of the externalization of the occult. The protagonist ends up searching, in the exterior elements, for his interior. That is, the search for identity involves the search for the other, whether the search for identity consists of the search for the other, human, animal, or object.

A couple very pretty stories but for the most part not really my cup of tea. Lispector focuses more on the minutiae and emotional interiors of her characters than any real story or dialogue. I thought I would like it but it never really clicked and I didn't find any of the characters all that interesting. The book's back cover says that Lispector's art found its apex in her short fiction but it seems to me that it would do better in novel form when given her emotional-interior set pieces could be given free reign.
My favorite stories were The Chicken (for its humor and comparative lightness), Preciousness (for the imagery and descriptive beauty), and The Crime of the Mathematics Professor (because I actually found the emotional struggle and decisions of the main character realistic and compelling).
