Summary
Clarice Lispector: Living Water
Living Water by Clarice Lispector is a formally blurred and philosophically deep meditation on the nature of life and time, a decisive leap into the fluidity of individual experience and a kaleidoscopic insight into the mental and emotional states of a muted and silent painter, who lives her life with as much dignity as she could muster. From the martyrdom of inappropriate sensuality, we follow her reflections on wardrobes that are too present, on elastically getting out of bed, on the crystallized emptiness of the mirror, on fresco painting in adagio, on prayer as electric contact with oneself, on eating one's own placenta and dying of health instead of illness.
