“beauty and the beast, or the enormous wound” - difficult to relate, but probably one of the most memorable stories and one that appeals to Society (yet still very much in Clarice’s tendency to focus on the internal).
side note: recurring images/words: search for an exit, eggs, female reproductive organs, ageing, smells/“delicious” sounds, independence from a man’s thought, dream-like structure.

“the departure of the train” - favourite story so far: it’s very Lispectorian, very introspective, engrossing parallel form (a young and an old woman), the unmistaken femininity, the escape to self-nurturing, - and all of this on the train.

i'm starting to think there's something in common between clarice and russell hoban. i don't know whether to be confused, to pull my hair from the use of language, or to just sit in awe at what these stories make you feel.
