Magical. The perfect read for me and anyone entering a transition period in their life. Lush, dreamlike sentences that demand rereading. I have been bewitched by Lispector.

"Simple I am I. And you are you. It is vast, and will endure.
What I am writing you is a "this". It won't stop: it goes on.
Look at me and love me. No: you look at yourself and love yourself. That's right.
What I'm writing to you goes on and I am bewitched".

Like nothing I've ever read before, "it is the story of instants that flee like fugitive tracks seen from the window of a train".
