Prolific and peerless ... a Brazilian national treasure ... Clarice
sought a knowledge beyond knowledge, a wisdom that left wisdom
behind ... through her texts emerges the struggle of life: how to
live each day, what the painful process of loving is, why one
should pick up a pen and respond to indignity in the first
place
