Description: Too Much of Life by Clarice Lispector, Margaret Jull Costa, Robin Patterson Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description This exhilarating collection of non-fiction sees one of the greatest twentieth-century writers meditating on the small moments that make up a lifeHow did I so unwittingly transform the joy of living into the great luxury of being alive?Between 1967 and 1977, Clarice Lispector wrote weekly dispatches from her desk in Rio for the Jornal do Brasil. Already famous for her revolutionary, interior, metaphysical novels, in her Chronicles she turns her attention to the everyday, turning the material of her life into profound, touching and funny, tiny revelations.Observing the world around her, small encounters like hearing tales of the lost loves of a taxi driver, or the bitterness lurking beneath the prettiness of an old friend, become an exposition of the currents and foibles that define our lives. Everything from the meaning of cosmonauts to the new ideas, writers and artists that populate the sparkling international world of the sixties and seventies are considered and transformed into jewels of insight, delight and devastation.Sincere and playful, exhilarating and contemplative, Too Much of Life- Complete Chronicles opens up a new way of seeing the world.
