Reviews'eoeHer images dazzle even when her meaning is most obscure, and when she is writing of what she despises she is lucidity itself.'e�, A lyrical, stream of consciousness meditation on the nature of time, the unreliability of language, the divinity of God, and the threat of hell., I had a sort of missionary urge with her... but I started thinking, even when I was 19: How can I help this person reach the prominence she deserves?, [Lispector] left behind an astounding body of work that has no real corollary inside literature or outside it., Inspirational... [Hammer Head] will have Wild fans throwing down their backpacks and picking up a hammer., Her images dazzle even when her meaning is most obscure, and when she is writing of what she despises she is lucidity itself., "Reading G.H., you follow the narrator's logic to its most physically and philosophically shocking conclusions. You, too, learn to "want the God in whatever comes out of the roach's belly.", Over time, I've come to admire and even love this novel. In fact, as soon as I slammed the book shut, my understanding of G.H.'s story began to take on an almost-corporeal reality. Trying to put this into words is a slippery thing. What I was beginning to appreciate was that I could not consider Lispector's philosophical concerns for any length of time without losing my grasp on those concerns, yet I could somehow feel them, sense the substance of them in my own mind, in those deep pools of thought where language doesn't quite reach, and which words can't express., Lispector's prose is unforgettable... still startling by the end because of Lispector's unsettling forcefulness.
