Lispectors final work is oneiric and fictionally idionsyncratic. A conversation of an author and his character never meeting, coexisting and sharing a single distressingly beautiful prose. For those with a penchant for philosophy - Lispector is a deep dive into what it means to live, and the two halves which all humankind possess.
