The Imitation of the Rose
Clarice LispectorKatrina Dodson (Translator)Benjamin Moser (Editor)

The small incidents of life become moments of inner revelation in the luminous writing of Clarice Lispector. A woman contemplating a vase of roses after a nervous breakdown; a tangled mother-daughter relationship; a man's abandonment of a dog; an animal in a zoo- each one leads to mystery and self-discovery, delight and devastation.
