Clarice Lispector - The Passion According to G.H.

You know, I was a little nervous about returning to Lispector. Reading Agua Viva and Hour of the Star in my early 20s changed my life and I was worried that now 8 years later I'd be less spellbound somehow. Nope. This is one of the best books I've read and the best Lispector I've read yet. I don't want to deliver a review or rather, I don't know that I can. This book even more than her other works is very explicitly a work of theology as much as philosophy. Not just because she uses the word God a lot, but because of the way it dives into this hyper-Spinozan universe and then spends its time deconstructing what it means to think of the world as the All, as G-d in an abstract (and, to me, very Jewish) sense. And as it turns out, confronting the All is absolutely horrifying and fundamentally impossible. But the impossibility is the point.

this is probably gonna be one that permanently changes my brain just like Agua Viva huh.
