The Hour of the Star by Clarice Lispector

From the publisher:

Translated from the Portuguese by Benjamin Moser

With a contribution by Paulo Gurgel Valente Colm Tóibín

The devastating final work by Brazil’s greatest modern writer, The Hour of the Star tells the haunting tale of Macabéa—a typist who lives in the slums of Rio—underfed, sickly, and unloved, yet inwardly free.
