A review by gabesteller
Near to the Wild Heart by Clarice Lispector

4.0

Really felt like I was inhabiting and swimming around in someone’s brain which was pretty cool especially with someone as off-putting, complex, and captivating as joana. But damn I’d never read a stream of consciousness book before and this shits tough. Like enjoyed it most on a sentence-by-sentence level But it was difficult to read a lot at a time. But if I only read a little I’d lose the thread of what was being talked about and I’d have to go back a lot.

Even so it still features some excellent, entrancing and sometimes disturbing lines just like I loved in Hour of the Star. Makes ya stop in ur tracks!
