Description

Review: Brilliant ... Lispector should be on the shelf with Kafka and Joyce Los Angeles Times A genius -- Colm Toibin Guardian A truly remarkable writer -- Jonathan Franzen Lispector's novels offer a stark counterpoint to much of modern life's focus on individual fame The Boston Globe One of the twentieth century's most mysterious writers -- Orhan Pamuk The originality of Near to the Wild Heart lies in its technique and language: self conscious, bleakly humourous, but poetic ... We now finally have a translation worthy of Clarice Lispector's inimitable style. Go out and buy it. -- JS Tennant Observer

About the Author

Clarice Lispector was a Brazilian novelist and short-story writer. Her innovation in fiction brought her international renown. She was born in the Ukraine in 1920, but in the aftermath of World War I and the Russian Civil War, the family fled to Romania and eventually Brazil. She published her first novel, Near to the Wildheart, in 1943, when she was just twenty-three, and the next year was awarded the Graça Aranha Prize for the best first novel. She died in 1977, shortly after the publication of her final novel, The Hour of the Star.

Robin Patterson has translated or co-translated a variety of works by Portuguese, Brazilian and Angolan authors, including Luandino Vieira’s Our Musseque, José Luís Peixoto’s In Galveias, Lúcio Cardoso’s Chronicle of the Murdered House (which won the 2017 Best Translated Book Award), and The Collected Stories of Machado de Assis.
