what an incredible way to write. makes you want to really run around! brilliant, active voice that surprises and specifies endlessly. some bits of dialogue were so funny and read so theatrically it made me jealous as a sore tooth!!

Her style is so beautiful and she communicates so much depth about the human experience in every sentence. Reading Lispector is truly such a mesmerizing way to experience language.

my favourite read in a while. it's a look on her thoughts about everything from life, time, death and lonelines to perfumes. her writing on this one might not be the easiest to understand due to the erratic aspect of it, but i think everyone should read at least one of her books in their life!!!!

Unlike anything I have ever read before. Raw. Dazzling. Paradigm-shifting. Tender. I have just been chewing through it. Underlining every third sentence. I was reading it while eating French toast this morning and leaning over to reach the straw of my iced oat milk latte with my mouth because I literally did not want to take my hands off the pages.

calvino is my most beloved author. here he’s written three quick stories based on his memories of the summer 1940, as italy entered the war and he entered adulthood. it’s a time of great confusion and reconciliation that he writes beautifully, and his usual sense of whimsy functions in such an interesting way here cause it deals directly with the contradictions of a whimsical adolescence under fascism. my favorite was the third story “UNPA nights”
