📗 Libro en inglés THE CHANDELIER

Clarice Lispectors masterly second novel, now available in English for the first time

She found the best clay that one could desire: white, supple, sticky, cold ... She would get a clear and tender material from which she could shape a world

Like the clay from which she sculpts figurines as a girl, Virginia is constantly shifting and changing. From her dreamlike childhood on Quiet Farm with her adored brother Daniel, through an adulthood where the past continues to pull her back and shape her, she moves through life, grasping for the truth of existence. Illuminating Virginias progress through intense flashes of image, sensation and perception, The Chandelier, Lispectors landmark second novel, is a disorienting and exhilarating portrait of one womans inner life.

Utterly original and brilliant, haunting and disturbing Colm Tóibín

Translated by Benjamin Moser and Magdalena Edwards
