Clarice Lispector

Multiple and always surprising, Clarice Lispector engaged in an intense journalistic career alongside her literary production of novels, short stories, chronicles, and children's books. Polyphonic and versatile, Clarice managed to get some of the most important figures in the national – and some international – cultural scene to open their hearts and minds in revealing interviews. Writers, musicians, playwrights, theater, film, and TV artists, scientists, professors, politicians, athletes, samba musicians, football players, and even two first ladies are portrayed in this collection, which features 83 candid conversations with Clarice, 35 of them previously unpublished in book form.

Organized by the renowned specialist in Clarice Lispector's work, Professor Claire Williams from the University of Oxford, Clarice Lispector Interviews offers a new and revealing perspective on emblematic figures of modern Brazil, while shedding light on aspects of Clarice herself that have remained largely unexplored in her writings.
