Clarice Lispector will be honored at the Brazil booth at the 44th Buenos Aires International Book Fair, which will take place between April 24 and May 14.
The project entails a multi-language exhibition about the Brazilian writer composed of a large poster board with her image, biography, and fragments of her work; books for sale in Portuguese and Spanish editions; video projections with interviews about her; and a replica of her statue, the original of which is located at Leme Beach, in Rio de Janeiro, where visitors can take photos.
On May 5, a day dedicated to Brazil, the booth will also hold a reading of dialogues by the author, read by five Argentinian actors, followed by a performance of her texts by the actress Luísa Kuliok in an auditorium for up to a thousand people.
