Summary

Clarice Lispector: Family Ties

But where, where could she find an animal that would teach her to have her own hatred? A hatred that rightfully belonged to her, but that she couldn't reach in pain? Where should she learn to hate so she doesn't die of love? And with whom? The world of spring, the world of animals that become spiritual in spring, with paws that scratch but don't hurt... oh, enough more of that world!

The silent rage that overwhelms the matriarch at a family party for her 89th birthday. Plot the emotions a sophisticated young woman feels for her aging mother. The giddy compassion a quiet young housewife feels when she notices a blind man chewing gum on the bus. The inner drama of a math teacher dealing with abandonment and the death of a dog. A frustrated, unloved woman seeking release from the hatred in the eyes of the bison at the zoo. In these thirteen prose masterpieces by Clarice Lispector, mysterious and unexpected moments of inner crisis prompt the heroines and heroes - alienated by a disturbing sense of the absurdity of life - to self-discovery and lead them to unexpected enlightenments amid the banality of everyday life.

Family ties pervert the ideas of comfort and security that the word "relationship" may suggest, exploring its darker meaning, the sense of limitation and constraint produced not only by family but and interpersonal relationships in general. The author's pictures are always accompanied by negatives, so that "positive" and "negative" in her writing have equal importance in depicting reality, which is therefore never the way it is presented.
