One of the most phenomenally acclaimed & successful books of recent years is now available as a paperback–with three just-discovered stories
Here, gathered in one volume, are the stories that made Clarice a Brazilian legend. Originally a cloth edition of eighty-six stories, now we have eighty- nine in all, covering her whole amazing career, from her teenage years to her deathbed.In these pages, we meet teenagers becoming aware of their sexual and artistic powers, humdrum housewives whose lives are shattered by unexpected epiphanies, old people who don't know what to do with themselves— & in their stories, Clarice takes us through their lives—and hers—and ours.

Clarice Lispector was born in 1920 to a Jewish family in western Ukraine. As a result of the anti-Semitic violence they endured, the family fled to Brazil in 1922, & Clarice Lispector grew up in Recife. Following the death of her mother when Clarice was nine, she moved to Rio de Janeiro with her father & two sisters, & she went on to study law. With her husband, who worked for the foreign service, she lived in Italy, Switzerland, England, & the United States, until they separated & she returned to Rio in 1959; she died there in 1977. Since her death, Clarice Lispector has earned universal recognition as Brazil’s greatest modern writer.
Clarice Lispector (1920–1977), the greatest Brazilian writer of the twentieth century, has been called “astounding” (Rachel Kushner), “a penetrating genius” (Donna Seaman, Booklist), & “one of the twentieth century’s most mysterious writers” (Orhan Pamuk).
Katrina Dodson’s translation of Lispector's The Complete Stories was awarded the 2016 PEN Translation Prize, the Lewis Galantière Award, & a North California Book Award.
