'This much-needed book is written with exhilarating energy and close attention to the expressive power of Lispector's language. A pleasure to read, it invites newcomers and experienced readers alike to share Vernon's passion for Clarice Lispector and explore the beauty and complexity of her work.' - Prof Luana Ferreira de Freitas, Federal University of Ceará, Brazil
'It is easy to assume the value of one's own enthusiasms but much harder to actually explain them. Dr Vernon accomplishes the harder thing, drawing us into his awe through the eloquence of his ardours... Dr Vernon's sentences wind across the page, refusing stale conceptions of how sentences should breathe. His syntax sparkles and writhes, meeting Lispector's' - Alina Stefanescu, author of My Heresies, Ribald, and DorWith Clarice Lispector now widely acknowledged as one of the great writers of the twentieth century, her work is more popular than ever before, earning a global reputation for its honesty, oddity, and empathy, as well as its linguistic versatility and philosophical depth. Yet much of her art remains an enigma, shrouded in ambiguity and difficulty.In Never Never Yes Yes: The Novels, Stories and Crônicas of Clarice Lispector, David Vernon unlocks these mysteries, probing how her work is constructed and why it is so powerful. Dedicated chapters explore each one of her nine novels, from her extraordinary debut Near to the Wild Heart to the slender magic of Hour of the Star, along with individual essays on selected stories - including 'The Buffalo', 'The Egg and the Chicken', 'The Fifth Story', and 'Love' - as well as her works in miniature: the crônicas.As we approach the fiftieth anniversary of Lispector's death, David Vernon celebrates a writer who challenges our complacency and casts spells of literary enchantment.WITH A FOREWORD BY ALINA STEFANESCU
