Clarice Lispector 
Água Viva 

Lispector at her most philosophically radical.

A meditation on the nature of life and time,
Água Viva (1973) shows Lispector discovering a new means of writing about herself, more deeply transforming her individual experience into a universal poetry. In a body of work as emotionally powerful, formally innovative, and philosophically profound as Clarice Lispector’s,
Água Viva stands out as a particular triumph.
