The Hour of the Star, Clarice Lispector’s consummate final novel, may well be her masterpiece. Narrated by the cosmopolitan Rodrigo S.M., this brief, strange, and haunting tale is the story of Macabéa, one of life’s unfortunates. Living in the slums of Rio and eking out a poor living as a typist, Macabéa loves movies, Coca-Cola, and her rat of a boyfriend; she would like to be like Marilyn Monroe, but she is ugly, underfed, sickly, and unloved. Rodrigo recoils from her wretchedness, and yet he cannot avoid the realization that for all her outward misery, Macabéa is inwardly free. She doesn’t seem to know how unhappy she should be. As Macabéa heads toward her absurd death, Lispector employs her pathetic heroine against her urbane, empty narrator—edge of despair to edge of despair—and, working them like a pair of scissors, she cuts away the reader’s preconceived notions about poverty, identity, love, and the art of fiction. In her last book she takes readers close to the true mystery of life and leaves us deep in Lispector territory indeed.
Clarice Lispector (1925-1977), the author of such works as Near to the Wild Heart, The Hour of the Star, and The Passion According to G. H., is the internationally acclaimed novelist and short-story writer from Brazil and the subject of Benjamin Moser’s magisterial biography Why This World.
Series editor Benjamin Moser, who contributes afterwords for all four of these new translations, is the author of Why This World: A Biography of Clarice Lispector, due out in paperback from Oxford University Press in May 2012. He also just completed a new translation of Lispector’s The Hour of the Star.
The Irish author Colm Tóibín’s most recent novel, the bestselling Brooklyn, won the 2010 Costa Fiction Award.
“But sooner or later they fall in the form of rain.” 很奇怪,開頭十幾頁看中文,有一種炸裂的美,英文讀來卻是平平。果然是中文某些詞匯給予的聯想和畫麵太過於根深蒂固。兩種譯文偶有小齣入,不知孰是孰非。
評分another book about loneliness but there is much self-obsession
評分A life that reduced itself to its primitive state. Who can tell if she wasn't needing to die?

生存本身就是一件痛苦荒谬,充满苦难,虚无且没价值的事。我们被喧嚣野蛮的匆忙撕成碎片。认清生命不值得追求后选择服从现实,保持理性克制,崇尚科学和逻辑,过一种崇高正义,冷静文明,高尚体面,庄严明智的生活。当我们把知识当作美德,认为保持清醒就会幸福,可真相却是,...
評分[法]赫莱娜·西苏 这个女人几乎难以置信。更确切地说:她的书写几乎难以置信。爱因斯坦说,世人有一天会发觉,一个像甘地这样的人曾在这个星球上有血有肉地存在,是难以置信的。 对于克拉丽丝·李斯佩克朵,我们发觉自己艰难地,但也惊喜地相信,她的存在本可以离我们这么近,...

評分I’d met someone just like Macabéa in real life - incompetent, aimless, hollow and rootless. The encounterance is always awful and I’m always on the verge of losing patience and feeling guilty afterwards. Nevertheless, these ‘guilt’ apparently weights l...
評分作家是怎样一笔一划地写下自己的传世(或不传世)之作的呢?《魔戒》作者托尔金说:"作品如种子般发芽生长,而这颗种子一老早便深埋于思想的枯叶堆下了。"托尔金也许就是这样一种作家:在词汇的土壤中,将足跟深深扎下去,身躯化为了参天大树,这是一种写作的魔法,就像日本传...
