Clarice Lispector's masterly second novel, now available in English
for the first time 'She found the best clay that one could desire:
white, supple, sticky, cold ... She would get a clear and tender
material from which she could shape a world' Like the clay from
which she sculpts figurines as a girl, Virginia is constantly
shifting and changing. From her dreamlike childhood on Quiet Farm
with her adored brother Daniel, through an adulthood where the past
continues to pull her back and shape her, she moves through life,
grasping for the truth of existence. Illuminating Virginia's
progress through intense flashes of image, sensation and
perception, The Chandelier, Lispector's landmark second novel, is a
disorienting and exhilarating portrait of one woman's inner life.
'Utterly original and brilliant, haunting and disturbing' Colm
Toibin Translated by Benjamin Moser and Magdalena Edwards
