Clarice Lispector was one of the most blistering and innovative twentieth century writers of the short story. This collection gathers all her stories together for the first time in English translation. Abandonments and dependencies, animals too deeply loved and then eaten, the smallest woman in the world, moments of madness and passions that have the ferocity of a fork plunged into a good friend’s neck. Together they follow the evolution of a writer capable of capturing all the incredible heat and wonder of existence.
