""If anyone might be profitably compared to Clarice Lispector, it might well be Maria Gabriela Llansol. This is because of the fundamentally mystical impulse that animates them both, their conception of writing as a sacred act, a prayer: their idea that it was through writing that a person can reach 'the core of being.'" -- Benjamin Moser, author of Why This World: A Biography of Clarice Lispector"Llansol's text . . . creates spaces wher ..."

"Susan Sontag was our last great literary star. Her brilliant, serious mind combined with her striking image, her rigorous intellectualism and her groundbreaking inquiries into what was then seen as 'low culture' - celebrity, photographs, camp - propelled her into her own unique, inimitable category and made her famous the world over, emblematic of twentieth-century New York literary glamour. Today we need her ideas more than ever. Her w ..."

"It is her least translated major work, and though Clarice Lispector is perhaps the
most studied Brazilian writer of her century, there is remarkably little critical
writing on The Chandelier. Yet the book's difficulty is, in a way, what makes it
linger in the mind. Clarice often said that her books profited by rereading, and

and constantly jumpin ..."
