Recipe for a happy family: Clarice Lispector in the press (1950-1961) is the result of a History course completion work at the Santa Catarina State University (UDESC) in 2011. The research sought to analyse the discourse of the famous writer in national periodicals: Comício, Correio da manhã and Diário da Noite. The research analysis tried to recognise the different discourses of the author in the themes addressed in her different pseudonyms. The book takes you to know different "Clarices" beyond the literary universe, a journalist who could assume different postures.
