The things I've learned from taxi drivers would be enough to fill a
book. They know a lot: they really do get around. I may know a lot
about Antonioni that they don't know. Or maybe they do even when
they don't. There are various ways of knowing by not-knowing. I
know: it happens to me too. The cronica, a literary genre peculiar
to Brazilian newspapers, allows writers (or even soccer stars) to
address a wide readership on any theme they like. Chatty, mystical,
intimate, flirtatious, and revelatory, Clarice Lispector's pieces
for the Saturday edition of Rio's leading paper, the Jornal do
Brasil, from 1967 to 1973, take the forms of memories, essays,
aphorisms, and serialized stories. Endlessly delightful, her
insights make one sit up and think, whether about children or
social ills or pets or society women or the business of writing or
love. This new, large, and beautifully translated volume, Too Much
of Life: The Complete Cronicas presents a new aspect of the great
writer-at once off the cuff and spot on.
