what an incredible way to write. makes you want to really run around! brilliant, active voice that surprises and specifies endlessly. some bits of dialogue were so funny and read so theatrically it made me jealous as a sore tooth!!

It took me a while to hop on the Lispector Express, but I only regret that I didn't read her sooner.
You don't read this as much as you allow it to wash over you. She talks about time and life and the intiutive and unknowable in a way that is so organic that it pulses and breathes in your face. So beautiful.

📚Her style is so beautiful and she communicates so much depth about the human experience in every sentence. Reading Lispector is truly such a mesmerizing way to experience language.

by Clarice Lispector. cannot recommend this book enough for strange young women.
she verbalizes internal sensations and animal knowledge I didn’t think possible to express. if ur a little feral and cruel and fiercely in love with life then this book is for u.

calvino is my most beloved author. here he’s written three quick stories based on his memories of the summer 1940, as italy entered the war and he entered adulthood. it’s a time of great confusion and reconciliation that he writes beautifully, and his usual sense of whimsy functions in such an interesting way here cause it deals directly with the contradictions of a whimsical adolescence under fascism. my favorite was the third story “UNPA nights”
