A review by blueyorkie
Laços de Família by Clarice Lispector

5.0

Published in 1960, Family Ties highlights Clarice Lispector's prose, perhaps the epitome of her short stories. The narratives in this work constantly use the stream of consciousness, through which we know the characters' most intimate universe. It is a practice that authorizes his literature sometimes to be psychological and occasionally reflective. He had always been caught in his righteousness at the moment when, from the banal everyday life, they reached the mysterious, unusual side, which was different from human existence, even if they could not understand it. In the end, we face stories of the externalization of the occult. The protagonist ends up searching, in the exterior elements, for his interior. That is, the search for identity involves the search for the other, whether the search for identity consists of the search for the other, human, animal, or object.
