Description
A Breath of Life Pulsations
This posthumous work by Clarice Lispector is a mystical dialogue between an author and their creation, Angela Pralini. The fragments of the manuscript were "structured" by Olga Borelli after Lispector's death.
The book explores the idea that if Angela dies, the author will have to die as well, creating a sense of urgency and mysticism around the narrative.
