Clarice Lispector, a Ukraine-born Brazilian writer, was one of the 20th century’s geniuses of literature. She noticed that the structure we give life is just our own invention. It’s like a mental cage to make us feel safer. In reality, there is little or no structure to life. The clear path we create in our imagination, we are born, we go to school, we become adults, we get married, we grow old and die, is nothing but out of human’s innate need for order.
So today, I will discuss her life, a child born in the Russian empire who conquered Brazilian and Portuguese literature, and her novels that have bewitched millions of readers throughout the world.

I'm Brazilian and I'm so happy with your comment! Thank you!
Água-viva in portuguese is also as we call the jellyfish
For those into Brazilian literature, I strongly recommend Nelson Rodrigues, Guimarães Rosa and Lima Barreto. I assume most people already know Machado de Assis, because he was the most famous of all.

Thank you for introducing me to this amazing writer. I would never have heard of her if not for you.
I love her! She completely changed how I think about writing
I'm very intrigued. I'll return after I have read a novel or two of her work. Thank you for posting such an interesting video.
Clarice!! Yes🎉 "Lispector was like a quantum physicist" - couldn't agree more! Excellent video.
Your channel is awesome!! Thank you for exposing theses interesting authors and their stories to everyone.
Thank you for intorducing me to Clarice, in this episode - really exciting. Definitely going to check this out. Really great !
You are definitely one of my favorite channels. The pace of your ability to place your energies in many diverse discussions of artistry, music in the background, paintings, and explorations of touches of psychological and philosophical elements of writers and their histories I have been listening for six hours and have 27 pages of my own notes. I will address the love of Clarice Lespector and a few other writers I love from South America as soon as I rest. I will follow up on this discussion today and fulfill my obligation to explain what I think. I love you with all my heart.❤
Thank you for posting such a great video! I love your channel ❤
Amazing piece as always! Now want to read her definitely!
Lovely summary, thnx! It’s true, her writing is it’s own universe…primordial…

I have been listening to this for 6 hours and taking notes. I love all these writers and philosophers. Ayn Rand was my least favorite. Clarice Lespector was luminous and water she drown in with absolute freedom

@cheri238 "and water she drown in with absolute freedom" um, what? 😂
profound analysis, can make authors, information and philosophy combined with direction, university classrooms, Ph. D. research scholars hugely benefit, one gets deeper into the author, congratulations, keep it up.
This channel is so great. I could see a LSAT reading comprehension passage about her life.
Clarice!!! I love her!!! 😍💜🦋
I never heard of her but will definitely look her up thanks #fictionbeast🎉
Been to São Paulo and Rio Ukraine was on my list too
I know portuguese language, so, I want to thank you for recommendations for lusofone literature! Else I have ideas for near episodes: episodes about genre literature such as science fiction (Isaac Asimov, Arthur Clark, Robert Sheclley, Frank Herbert, Philip C.Dick, Clifford Saimak, Stanislav Lem, brothers Strugansky, Ursula Le Guin, Frederick Brown, Andre Norton), detective (Samuel Hammet, James Kane, Dafne Dumorie, Gilbert Chasterton) or action literature (Cormac Mackarty, David Mottel).
Thomas Pynchon needs a video or ten!
Kafka teria q comer mt feijão c farinha p chegar perto de Clarice 😅
Gonna go back in time to rizz up Clarice Lispector. Mysterious, beautiful, genius.
YES!
Yay!
Amazing Clarice Lispector
Muito obrigado pelo video

Nice issue.

It's funny that I came to this same conclusion, of structure being artificially created by us humans, as a result of my life experiences.
I used to date a girl with a Kafkaesque Brazilian
Your summations are always an intricate pleasure but sometimes I wish you would be more subtle giving away story endings. Ex..The car accident.
Be carful child you will then love to die Existence a’nt a play it’s life taking different shapes Be ready for a beautiful journey will began when philosophy is dead by two hands of little boy mystery it’s just like Peter Pan.
She's one of my favorite Brazilian writers. I really don't think anyone that isn't Brazilian or at least knows football history can really understand the kind of writing the likes of her, Nelson Rodrigues and other contemporaries such as Armando Nogueira did. She was, above all, a Botafogo fan, and although she didn't understand too much of the sport, it clearly showed in her writing. Man, I love her.

O ethos dela é perfeitamente descrito numa crônica que ela escreveu a pedido do Armando Nogueira. Não lembro o título, acho que "O Botafogo e Eu, Coitada", mas aquilo ali é o verdadeiro sentimento de um torcedor. Vocês são brasileiros, não tem como escapar da cultura do seu país, e particularmente eu acho *essencial* entender a dinâmica de clubes do Brasil para entender personalidades por aqui... podem me chamar de lunático ou coisa do tipo, mas é o que é. EDIT: como eu sugeri em meu comentário original, não acho que vocês realmente consigam entender a obra dela como um todo sem entender a posição dela dentro do mundo futebolístico. Brasil e futebol são inseparáveis. Mas nunca vou convencê-los, então meio que tanto faz.

What's her OF?

I think that characterizing someone as „Brazilian Kafka“ is problematic. It is implying that she is like someone, and not just herself, writing her own story, having her own experiences. The title feels like she’s a copy or a secondary placed author behind the „better“ Author from the west. Literature and Authors should be analyzed in their Contexts. Doesn’t matter if it’s the historical, social, Artistic, Psychological context. And yes she may have been influenced by Kafka, but that doesn’t make her the Brazilian Equivalent, or Copy.

She explicitly took inspiration from Kafka, plus he is more well known so to market her in this way towards people who may not have heard of her draws more intrigue from Kafka fans, thus widening her own audience.
3:44 Portuguese j's are NOT pronounced like h's. They sound much more like english j's, like in "journal". You're projecting spanish onto a entirely different language, specially regarding pronunciation.
