Best gift (thank u Sofiaaa) which I stayed up reading into deep deep night. The humor and sadness of this passage: “A state of lassitude would follow in which I suffered less. Yet, even during that phase, I never relaxed completely. I carefully scrutinized myself: would it return? I would refer to the torture with vague words, as if I could hold it off that way.”

completely unexpected and a little crazy!! wow, i so admire the boldness of lispector's words and narratives (putting this down just after "the burned sinned and the harmonious angels")

whheewwwww took a little break but second story was something. glad she made it out of that toxic relationship but doing all that for a man that doesn’t even like u is so low, especially given that you have a loving husband. 4/5 because she got her lick back 🙏

"above all the girl had already started taking no pleasure in being awarded the title of man whenever she showed the slightest hint ... of being a person. while this flattered her, it offended her a bit: it was as if he were surprised that she was competent, precisely because he didn't think she was. still, if they weren't careful, the fact that she was a woman could suddenly come up. they were careful."
