a major obstacle in my understanding of TRUE LITERATURE is that i'm just not all that bright. when i asked around for lispector recommendations, i was told the hour of the star is a good short choice for beginners (read: midwits such as myself)
i found i had a hard time understanding rodrigo's narration sometimes. he's an interesting framing device, but i don't really understand the point. however, i think i understood macabéa...or whatever rodrigo tells me of her. there's something industrial in the narrator's artistic ownership of this girl
