Synopsis
'Glamorous, cultured, moody, Lispector is an emblematic twentieth-century artist who belongs in the same pantheon as Kafka and Joyce. Benjamin Moser has brought to life her essentially tragic nature in all its complexity' Edmund White
'That rare person who looked like Marlene Dietrich and wrote like Virginia Woolf,' Clarice Lispector was one of the twentieth century's most extraordinary modernist writers. The brilliant, beautiful and enigmatic daughter of Russian-Jewish émigrés, she achieved instant celebrity at the age of twenty-three with her debut novel Near to the Wild Heart, and became a literary icon in Latin America.
In Why This World Benjamin Moser unravels the turbulent life of an elusive genius: her birth in the nightmarish landscape of postwar Ukraine, her long exile in Brazil, her stormy personal life, her fierce talent, and how she transformed her struggles into a universally resonant art.
'One of the twentieth century's most mysterious writers is finally revealed in all her vibrant colours' Orhan Pamuk
'A smart, passionate portrait of a truly remarkable writer' Jonathan Franzen
'As Moser begins to unpeel the layers of her complicated life, Why This World sucks you into its subject's strange vortex' Dwight Garner, The New York Times

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. A new and passionate biography of Brazil's most important, and legendary writer of the twentieth century\"That rare person who looked like Marlene Dietrich and wrote like Virginia Woolf,\" Clarice Lispector is one of the most popular but least understood of Latin American writers. After years of research on three continents, drawing on previously unknown manuscripts and dozens of interviews, Benjamin Moser demonstrates how Lispector's development as a writer was directly connected to the story of her turbulent life. From Chechelnik to Recife, Naples and Bern to Washington and Rio de Janeiro, Why This World strips away the mythology surrounding this extraordinary figure and shows how Clarice Lispector transformed her own struggles into a universally resonant art. Tells how Clarice Lispector through long exile abroad and difficult personal struggles, matured into a great writer, and asserts, for the first time, the deep roots in the Jewish mystical tradition that make her the true heir to Kafka as well as the unlikely author of "perhaps the greatest spiritual autobiography of the twentieth century". Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781846147814
