Epiphany in Clarice Lispector

The reader has before him an incomplete book about the epiphany in Clarice Lispector, so what is done here are provocations. The density of the author’s literary work could not be covered by a single work; many, many interconnected studies would be needed to research this literature. However, every endeavour, great or small, must have a beginning. Take this work, reader, as an initial walk through one of the many characteristics of Clarice Lispector’s work, the epiphany. Even the most passionate readers need a guide or a helper on the journey that is delving into the peculiar traits of complex authors; the exact case of Clarice. I challenge the reader to leave this book without wanting to read The Hour of the Star, or to re-read it. One of the main aims of this book is to illustrate certain passages of the author’s existentialist literature, using literary theory. Epiphany in Clarice Lispector: the act of revisiting the new is an interpretative act of those who never tire of searching what they like and know for what they need to know, in other words, the continuous and constant integration between the ’new’ and the ’old’.
