Sommario/riassunto: | Clarice Lispector is the premiere Latin American woman prose writer of this century, Suzanne Ruta noted in the New York Times Book Review, ""but because she is a woman and a Brazilian, she has remained virtually unknown in the United States."" Passionate Fictions provides American readers with a critical introduction to this remarkable writer and offers those who already know Lispector's fiction a deeper understanding of its complex workings. |
