After Clarice: Reading Lispector's Legacy in the Twenty-First Century

Forty years after her death, Clarice Lispector’s startling oeuvre continues to fascinate readers and scholars. Gathering scholarly articles, works of fiction and poetry, personal essays and archival material, After Clarice: Reading Lispector’s Legacy in the Twenty-First Century brings together scholars, authors, artists, and translators working in a wide range of languages and disciplines to address Lispector’s place, as a Brazilian writer, in twenty-first century configurations of world literature. It aims to evaluate the fluctuations and swerves in Lispector’s critical fortunes, focusing on the way her works have been reread and transformed in other languages, genres, and media. In addition to her stories and novels, After Clarice also examines Lispector’s journalism, writing for children, interviews, music and visual art collaborations, and considers how these activities have garnered her new readers in a wide range of disciplines.
