Clarice is an odd lady writing about odd ladies I love her. 

A bit less existentially sparkling than her earlier work but nevertheless incredibly fun and experimental and impactful writing. I'm still thinking through Macabéa as a figure of refusal (like Svejk more than Bartleby) and her relationship to the narrator controlling her story. 

Also compelling to read alongside 2666, as both were written as their authors were dying.
