Narrated by the cosmopolitan Rodrigo S.M., this brief, strange, and haunting tale is the story of Macabéa, one of life's unfortunates. Living in the slums of Rio and eking out a poor living as a typist, Macabéa loves movies, Coca-Cola, and her rat of a boyfriend; she would like to be like Marilyn Monroe, but she is ugly, underfed, sickly, and unloved. Rodrigo recoils from her wretchedness, and yet he cannot avoid the realization that for all her outward misery, Macabéa is inwardly free. She doesn't seem to know how unhappy she should be. As Macabéa heads toward her absurd death, 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, and the art of fiction. In her last book she takes readers close to the true mystery of life and leaves us deep in Lispector territory indeed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Clarice Lispector\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Debolsillo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/17\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.49h x 4.97w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788466381697\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e Spanish\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eClarice Lispector\u003c\/b\u003e (Chechelnik, Unión Soviética, 1920 - Río de Janeiro, Brasil, 1977) fue una de las voces más singulares de la literatura brasileña del siglo XX. Nacida en una familia judía en Ucrania y emigrada a Brasil siendo niña, vivió entre dos mundos culturales que marcaron su visión literaria. Su escritura, de fuerte impronta introspectiva y lírica, se caracteriza por una profunda indagación en la conciencia, el lenguaje y lo femenino. Debutó con \u003ci\u003eCerca del corazón salvaje\u003c\/i\u003e (1943), una novela revolucionaria en su estilo, y alcanzó reconocimiento con obras como \u003ci\u003eLa pasión según G.H.\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLa hora de la estrella\u003c\/i\u003e y \u003ci\u003eAgua viva\u003c\/i\u003e. También cultivó el cuento, la literatura infantil, la crónica y la traducción. Vivió varios años en Europa y Estados Unidos, acompañando a su esposo diplomático, lo que amplió su perspectiva cultural.
