The professor and writer Evando Nascimento gave a class on the work of Clarice Lispector at the IMS Rio. His talk is based on the category of “thinking literature,” which the author uses to describe Clarice’s work: “that which is narrated and the reflections associated with this fact are not opposed. One of the characteristics of the thinking literature of Clarice Lispector is to rethink binary pairs, or very rigid dichotomies,” he explains.

The word “unfamiliar” is used by Clarice Lispector in several of her works. To be precise, in the original Portuguese, Clarice employed the neologism infamiliar, which is not in the dictionary, though it cannot be affirmed that the author is the source of this term in Brazilian literature. Nonetheless, by mentioning the word “unfamiliar” at least sixteen times, whether in novels, short stories, or chronicles, the author makes this unique signifier an object of greater attention.
