In the magnificent feast of Clarice Lispector鈥檚 books, her cr么nicas鈥攕hort, intensely vivid newspaper pieces鈥攁re the delicious canap茅s The things I鈥檝e learned from taxi drivers would be enough to fill a book. They know a lot: they really do get around. I may know a lot about Antonioni that they don鈥檛 know. Or maybe they do even when they don鈥檛. There are various ways of knowing by not-knowing. I know: it happens to me too. The cr么nica, a literary genre peculiar to Brazilian newspapers, allows writers (or even soccer stars) to address a wide readership on any theme they like. Chatty, mystical, intimate, flirtatious, and revelatory, Clarice Lispector鈥檚 pieces for the Saturday edition of Rio鈥檚 leading paper, the Jornal do Brasil, from 1967 to 1973, take the forms of memories, essays, aphorisms, and serialized stories. Endlessly delightful, her insights make one sit up and think, whether about children or social ills or pets or society women or the business of writing or love. This new, large, and beautifully translated volume, Too Much of Life: The Complete Cr么nicas presents a new aspect of the great writer鈥攁t once off the cuff and spot on.
