Writing and Life

Douban

NeoDB

For Clarice Lispector, writing and living are two sides of the same coin—what she sees as miracle: everyday life.

Writing and Living is a collection of Lispector's essays that reflect on and explore the act and experience of writing. Readers can understand the deeper motivations behind Lispector's work and find her encouragement for writing—and for strengthening one's own life through writing. After all, writing and living not only illuminate Lispector's literary creation and existence, but can also illuminate the reader's own life.

The essays selected in this book all revolve around these two themes. Each section is short, yet the content and ideas are varied, the sentences are concise and mysterious, and the author's intuitive writing style is revealed between the lines. For first-time readers of Lispector, this book is like a key, unlocking Lispector's literary world, allowing us to understand her true self and explore the mysteries of her writing.
