Agua Viva Lispector Clarice (2014)

In Agua Viva, Clarice Lispector aims to capture the present. Her direct, confessional and unfiltered meditations on everything from life and time to perfume and sleep are strange and hypnotic in their emotional power, and have profoundly influenced many artists and writers, including a Brazilian musician who read the book 111 times. Despite its apparent spontaneity, this is a masterly work of art that rearranges language and plays in the gaps between reality and fiction.
