The Hour of the Star [2nd ed. 2011]
Clarice Lispector, Benjamin Moser (translation), Colm Tóibín (introduction)A new edition of Clarice Lispector’s final masterpiece, now with a vivid introduction by Colm Tóibín.
Lispector employs her pathetic heroine against her urbane, empty narrator―edge of despair to edge of despair―and, working them like a pair of scissors, she cuts away the reader's preconceived notions about poverty, identity, love & the art of fiction. In her last book she takes readers close to the true mystery of life & leave us deep in Lispector territory indeed.
