The Chandelier, written when Lispector was only twenty-three,
reveals a very different author from the college student whose
debut novel, Near to the Wild Heart, announced the landfall of
"Hurricane Clarice." Virginia and her cruel, beautiful brother,
Daniel, grow up in a decaying country mansion. They leave for the
city, but the change of locale leaves Virginia's internal life
unperturbed. In intensely poetic language, Lispector conducts a
stratigraphic excavation of Virginia's thoughts, revealing the
drama of Clarice's lifelong quest to discover "the nucleus made of
a single instant"-and displaying a new face of this great writer,
blazing with the vitality of youth.
