The Besieged City
—Clarice Lispector’s electrifying third novel—tells of a shallow girl becoming a desirable but highly materialistic woman in a rough-and-ready town
Rich with visions, miraculous horses, and linguistic ecstasy,
stars Lucrécia. Clarice Lispector’s heroine is a materialistic girl free of the burden of thought: “Behold, behold, all of her, terribly physical, one of the objects.”
“The object—the thing,” Lispector once remarked, “always fascinated me and in a certain sense destroyed me. In my book
I speak indirectly about the mystery of the thing. The thing is a specialized and immobilized animal.”
