A review by agneix
O lustre by Clarice Lispector

4.0

"She would be fluid through her whole life" it starts Virginia's journey. The fluidity of the narrative depends on our main character's decision: by the time she decides one thing, the narrative takes a turn so that later on there's another decision to be made. There is no such thing as bad writing for Clarice, but this was very hard to go through. Very dense and sometimes slow paced, we follow (mostly) Virginia's thinking process; sometimes we get a look into other carachters' mind and there never is a slight change in the narrative. It's all fluid.
