I tried to read Ulysses earlier this summer and this review reminded me of how I felt. “It’s a lot” seems to be too much for me this year. Great review despite not being a book for me!
Reading Clarice is mandatory in most of Brazilians schools. So I am lucky to have read a lot of her work. My absolute favorite is "Apple in The Dark". Over here we call her "the mistery", because it was (and still is) so hard to truly understand all the depth in her writing. Benjamin Moser wrote her biography and it is a masterpiece. If you are into more of Brazilian literature I would recommend "Dom Casmurro", by Machado de Assis, It is very well written and also funny.
“It’s a lot!” Is a pretty accurate rating 😂
Ha! Thanks, Luiza!

Thanks Kate! I’ve always been too afraid to try Ulysses!
"and I’ve got a face to finish." 😂😂
Lol I can’t leave it half done!

Thanks, Sarah! I'll check out Apple in the Dark and Dom Casmurro. I just read an essay about it by Moser and it sounds great!
