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.
