Description
A Breath of Life by Clarice Lispector is a posthumous work of great beauty and strangeness. In this unique dialogue, a male author engages in a mystical conversation with his creation, a woman named Angela, who is both the speaking, breathing, and dying creation herself. The author infuses the breath of life into Angela, blurring the lines between creator and creation. The work's almost occult appeal lies in the perception that if Angela dies, the author must also die. This poignant and thought-provoking book has never been translated before, and its publication is a testament to the enduring power of Lispector's writing. Published posthumously, A Breath of Life is a fascinating and enigmatic book that explores the boundaries between life and death, creation and creator.
