Mira que me custa a prosa de Lispector, pero ó final atopei dous contos moi desfrutables: "A imitação da rosa" e "A menor mulher do mundo".

Desafio Livrada 2017: um vencedor do Jabuti

Laços de Família recebeu o Jabuti de Melhor Livro de Contos em 1961. É a primeira coletânea de Clarice. São contos profundamente psicológicos, intimistas, que acompanham personagens cujas certezas da vida são abaladas por acontecimentos mundanos e cotidianos. Como toda coletânea é irregular, com alguns contos sendo por demais subjetivos para o meu gosto. Meus preferidos foram "Os Laços de Família", "Uma Galinha", "Feliz Aniversário" e "A Imitação da Rosa".

No one writes characters like Clarice. Short stories are difficult to rate, but I know a handful of these stories are going to stay with me for the rest of my life, and even the ones I didn't enjoy as much were fun to analyze.  Hoping to read more from her very soon.

Ikke min kop te, selv om det er dygtigt skrevet. Stilbilleder med fotografisk præcision fra neurosernes land. Hvis man kan se det sjove i det neurotiske, så er jeg sikker på at den er lige så sjov som beskrivelsen lover, men nu har jeg altid fundet Woody Allen pisse-irriterende, så jeg synes bare det er sært og at de fleste burde tage sig sammen.
Jeg havde ellers glædet mig til at læse noget andet fra Brasilien, men det er det forkvaklede indre liv her er gang i.

anaorlic's review against another edition

Ljudske neuroze, opsesije, male i velike, istražene kroz uske isječke iz svakodnevnice. Kratki rezovi između početka i kraja scena, no događaji u njima kao da posjeduju neku beskrajnu kvalitetu - mogli bi se događati bilo kada i bilo gdje, neodređeno dugo vremena. Upravo je u toj nepoznanici trajanja glavni udarac kojim Lispector dodiruje. Ne znamo koliko će dugo neuroze, koje nas čine onima koji jesmo, trajati niti hoće li se ikada razriješiti.
Čitati Lispector znači biti neprestano udaljen, izdvojen, prisiljen na pogled izvana i natrag u sebe. Neobičnost ovog suočavanja zahtijeva pauzu između priča, vrijeme da se slike slegnu, da uhvatimo malo zraka iz vlastita života.

O estilo dela de "stream of consciousness" é muito parecido com o da Virginia Woolf, mas por alguma razão em inglês parece funcionar melhor. Talvez eu tenho que ler algo da Clarice traduzido pro inglês e ver se eu gosto mais. Pra mim, esse livro foi bem chato.
