Clarice Lispector, A Breath of Life

Clarice Lispector, A Hora da Estrela

Shirley Jackson
“A pretty sight, a lady with a book.”

Claire-Louise Bennett
“Sometimes all it takes is just one sentence. Just one sentence, and there you are, part of something that has been part of you since the beginning, whenever that might rightly be. The source, yes, you can feel it thrumming and surging, and it’s such a relief, to feel you are made of much more than just yourself, that you are only a rind really, a rind you should take care of yet mustn’t get too attached to, that you mustn’t be afraid to let melt away now and then.”
Claire-Louise Bennett, Checkout 19
