Thank you, Sophie, for posting your thoughts. So resonant with what is going on for me in my life right now - what it means to be human and find oneself to be able to relate to another, but also not lose oneself when life throws curveballs. This was my first Lispector and I enjoyed it very much. As much as I loved Lori, I hated Ulysses. I found him full of himself and patronising😊 But I don’t have to love him to love the book.
yes, he is definitely at least annoying at least sometimes, and potentially worth hating. i didn’t hate him bc i often didn’t really think of him as a person that much. i guess i didn’t mind him bc he wasn’t on my mind :)
do you think you’ll read any other lispector novels?

Your comment made me smile. 😊 Yes, I will definitely read more Lispector. She is like nobody else. Very seductive.
