Água Viva (New Directions Books)

<p><strong>Lispector at her most philosophically radical.</strong></p> A meditation on the nature of life and time, <em>Água Viva</em> (1973) shows Lispector discovering a new means of writing about herself, more deeply transforming her individual experience into a universal poetry. In a body of work as emotionally powerful, formally innovative, and philosophically profound as Clarice Lispector’s, <em>Água Viva</em> stands out as a particular triumph.
