Yet telling her story is the narrator Rodrigo S.M., who tries to direct Macabéa's fate but comes to realize that, for all her outward misery, she is inwardly free. Slyly subverting ideas of poverty, identity, love and the art of writing itself, Clarice Lispector's audacious last novel is a haunting portrayal of innocence in a bad world.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBTranslator: Benjamin MoserContributor: Benjamin Moser (Translated by)Genre: FictionBook Series: Penguin Modern ClassicsRelease Year: 2014 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
