Água Viva (New Directions Books)

<p>Lispector at her most philosophically radical.</p><br />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.
