Abstract
The novelist and short-story writer Clarice Lispector is one of the most important Brazilian literary voices of the twentieth century. Celebrated for her unique use of language and perspective, Lispector’s first novel Near To The Wild Heart caused a sensation when it was first published in 1943. She would go on to write eight other novels and publish numerous short-stories and children’s books.
