Daydream and Drunkenness of a Young Lady by Clarice Lispector

Daydream and Drunkenness of a Young Lady by Clarice Lispector

A young married woman lies in bed feeling enormous and glorious and vaguely disgusted with her husband, and Lispector follows the thought where it goes, which is nowhere a plot would recognise.

These stories catch women in ordinary domestic moments — a bedroom, a tram, a dinner — at the exact point where the surface of an ordinary life becomes unbearable or transcendent, and Lispector refuses to say which. Her sentences behave oddly on purpose, and the effect is closer to being inside someone than reading about them.

A short Penguin Modern selection, and the easiest way to find out whether Lispector is for you.
