Living in the slums of Rio and eking out a living as a typist,
Macabea loves movies, Coca-Cola and her philandering rat of a
boyfriend; she would like to be like Marilyn Monroe, but she is
ugly and unloved. Yet telling her story is the narrator Rodrigo
S.M., who tries to direct Macabea's fate but comes to realize that,
for all her outward misery, she is inwardly free. Slyly subverting
ideas of poverty, identity, love and the art of writing itself,
Clarice Lispector's audacious last novel is a haunting portrayal of
innocence in a bad world.
