The Passion According to G.H.
Summary
Lispector’s most shocking novel. The Passion According to G.H., Clarice Lispector’s mystical novel of 1964, concerns a well-to-do Rio sculptress, G.H., who enters her maid’s room, sees a cockroach crawling out of the wardrobe, and, panicking, slams the door - crushing the cockroach - and then watches it die. At the end of the novel, at the height of a spiritual crisis, comes the most famous and most genuinely shocking scene in Brazilian literature.... Lispector wrote that of all her works, this novel was the one that "best corresponded to her demands as a writer."

The Hour of the Star
Summary
The Hour of the Star, Clarice Lispector's consummate final novel, may well be her masterpiece. Narrated by the cosmopolitan Rodrigo S. M., this brief, strange, and haunting tale is the story of Macabéa, one of life's unfortunates. Living in the slums of Rio and eking out a poor living as a typist, Macabéa loves movies, Coca-Colas, and her rat of a boyfriend; she would like to be like Marilyn Monroe, but she is ugly, underfed, sickly, and unloved. Rodrigo recoils from her wretchedness, and yet he cannot avoid the realization that for all her outward misery, Macabéa is inwardly free. She doesn't seem to know how unhappy she should be. Lispector employs her pathetic heroine against her urbane, empty narrator - edge of despair to edge of despair - and, working them like a pair of scissors, she cuts away preconceived notions about poverty, identity, love, and the art of fiction. In her last book, she takes us close to the true mystery of life and leave us deep in Lispector territory indeed.

Near to the Wild Heart
Summary
This new translation of Clarice Lispector's sensational first book tells the story of a middle class woman's life from childhood through an unhappy marriage and its dissolution to transcendence. Near to the Wild Heart, published in Rio de Janeiro in 1943, introduced Brazil to what one writer called "Hurricane Clarice": a 23-year-old girl who wrote her first book in a tiny rented room and then baptized it with a title taken from Joyce - "He was alone, unheeded, near to the wild heart of life." The book was an unprecedented sensation - the discovery of a genius. Narrative epiphanies and interior monologue frame the life of Joana, from her middle-class childhood through her unhappy marriage and its dissolution to transcendence, when she proclaims, "I shall arise as strong and comely as a young colt."

La passion selon GH
Summary
Dans son appartement de Rio, une femme commence sa journée, seule face à une tasse de thé. Sa bonne l'a quittée le matin même. Il y a une première rupture du rythme quotidien de cette femme. C'est pourquoi elle entame une interrogation sur le cours habituel de ses jours. Après avoir décidé de faire le ménage dans la chambre de la bonne, elle découvre qu'elle a vécu de longs mois à côté de quelqu'un resté totalement étranger. Commencent à sourdre les indices d'une seconde interrogation, plus large et plus complexe, qui part de ce point précis : son ignorance de l'autre. C'est en cherchant le sens primordial de ce qu'elle ressent et en essayant de comprendre les liens éventuels entre tout cela et Dieu, que G. H. avance, de station en station, dans sa passion, qui est à la fois un cri de douleur et de joie.

The Complete Stories
Summary
Here, gathered in one volume, are the stories that made Clarice a Brazilian legend. Originally a cloth edition of 86 stories, now we have 89 in all, covering her whole amazing career, from her teenage years to her deathbed. In these pages, we meet teenagers becoming aware of their sexual and artistic powers, humdrum housewives whose lives are shattered by unexpected epiphanies, old people who don't know what to do with themselves - and in their stories, Clarice takes us through their lives - and hers - and ours.
