Never Never Yes Yes: The Novels, Stories & Crônicas of Clarice Lispector (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781739136154)

With Clarice Lispector now widely acknowledged as one of the great writers of the twentieth century, her work is more popular than ever before, earning a global reputation for its honesty, oddity, and empathy, as well as its linguistic versatility and philosophical depth. Yet much of her art remains an enigma, shrouded in ambiguity and difficulty. In Never Never Yes Yes: The Novels, Stories and Crônicas of Clarice Lispector, David Vernon unlocks these mysteries, probing how her work is constructed and why it is so powerful. Dedicated chapters explore each one of her nine novels, from her extraordinary debut Near to the Wild Heart to the slender magic of Hour of the Star, along with individual essays on selected stories - including 'The Buffalo', 'The Egg and the Chicken', 'The Fifth Story', and 'Love' - as well as her works in miniature: the crônicas. As we approach the fiftieth anniversary of Lispector's death, David Vernon celebrates a writer who challenges our complacency and casts spells of literary enchantment.WITH A FOREWORD BY ALINA STEFANESCU
