A meditation on the nature of life and time, Agua Viva (1973) shows Lispector discovering a new means of writing about herself, more deeply transforming her individual experience into a universal poetry. In a body of work as emotionally powerful, formally innovative, and philosophically profound as Clarice Lispector's, Agua Viva stands out as a particular triumph.

Industry Reviews

"Brilliant and unclassifiable... Glamorous, cultured, moody, Lispector is an emblematic twentieth-century artist who belongs in the same pantheon as Kafka and Joyce." -- Edmund White "This is a book that, like a good painting, can be picked up anywhere and that will continue to reward renewed contact over months and years of acquaintance." -- Scott Esposito - Barnes & Noble Review "Her images dazzle even when her meaning is most obscure, and when she is writing of what she despises she is lucidity itself. " -- The Times Literary Supplement "I had a sort of missionary urge with her...but I started thinking, even when I was 19: How can I help this person reach the prominence she deserves?" -- Benjamin Moser "One of 20th-century Brazil's most intriguing and mystifying writers." -- The L Magazine
