report on the thing - siri is sveglia

the departure of the train - read this on the train and cried. she wrecks me. if i wrote anything close to this level of moving i may be satisfied for years

in search of a dignity

the sound of footsteps

the egg and the chicken - i need to reread this several times. lispector is breaking me out of a reading rut by sending ripples through my lungs. last night i was crying because i deny truths such as “i like reading” because i don’t think i like it enough to talk about it as if it were my life, or like it enough enough to really make it my life, or like it as much as other people who like to read

the egg and the chicken - etc. etc. etc./5

the buffalo - 💆🏻‍♀️

the imitation of the rose - perfect. just wow. i have no words. what an experience it is to read her.

reading out of order

covert joy - this is very different from clarice novels. it was an adorable and beautiful short story and not at all hard to follow, lol. i feel like i could read this before bed and not be kept up by insomnia and ive never read lispector before bed and been able to sleep before. it’s generally a terrible idea to read lispector before sleep.
