“I am a typist, a virgin and I like Coca cola.”
A piercing line from Brazil’s most important author, Clarice Lispector, from her last work, “Hour of the star”. I’m very excited to announce that the Americas Society is honoring her on April 22. Fear not, the event is in English and without cost.

Thanks for the heads up on this. I missed the event but it sounded fantastic. By the way, there’s a young new Brazilian poet poised to carry on Lispector’s crown: Bruna Beber is her name. Not a lot of her work has been translated to English yet, but that’s a matter of time.

You’ve really piqued my interest. I’ll keep my eyes peeled.
