Another retake of the comparison between Nabokov, Angela Carter and Clarice
Lispector: it “makes sense – if you combine the two” writes Sturgeon. What
does he mean by that?

The Complete Stories, Clarice Lispector, trans. Katrina Dodson, ed. Benjamin
Moser (New Directions, August 4)

“I was shocked by reality,” Mary Ruefle said of her first encounter with
Clarice Lispector. I know of no better description of reading the Brazilian
author’s variegated, inarguably masterful fiction, although Jeff
VanderMeer’s recent comparison of Lispector to Nabokov and Angela Carter
makes sense — if you combine the two. Benjamin Moser, who has helped curate
Lispector’s emergence into English, describes her as “the most important
Jewish writer since Kafka.” Her long-awaited arrival — of which this is only
the beginning — might be compared to the translation and publication of
Kafka’s work in early 1940s.
