I received your letter from Saturday (before Carnival, I suppose) at a good time. Don\u2019t reprimand me: but on Carnival Monday we went to a party at the house of the American Consul and I got really drunk. I said not to reprimand me because the next day I got it. I felt so sick! One of those hangovers you see in the movies. It was good to get drunk so I could demystify the idea, which poets promote and celebrate so much\u2026 It was the first and last time, no doubt. But today I\u2019m fine and don\u2019t feel anything. Yesterday, lying in my bed and feeling sick (Maury also came home feeling sick), I received your letter and while I read it I didn\u2019t feel anything. When I read the story about the dumb lady who got into a misunderstanding with you, I wanted to vomit on top of her. I danced a lot at the Americans\u2019 party. They\u2019re very nice and lively, with beautiful teeth and, certainly, in good health. The girls who were there also had nice teeth and beautiful legs.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was a tall, old nurse having lots of fun. And a very lively, extraordinarily fat one making jokes about her own weight, which is also somewhat sad. If we had two lives, it wouldn\u2019t be so bad to be fat in one of them. \u2013 I didn\u2019t write to \u00c1lvaro Lins (The article by \u00c1lvaro Lins, \u201cRomance l\u00edrico\u201d [Lyrical Novel], was published in <em>Correio da Manh\u00e3 <\/em>on February 11, 1944 and republished under the title: \u201cA experi\u00eancia incompleta: Clarice Lispector\u201d [The Incomplete Experience: Clarice Lispector]. <em>Os mortos de sobrecasaca. Ensaios e estudos (1940-1960) <\/em>[The Frock Coat Dead: Essays and Studies]<em>, <\/em>Rio de Janeiro, Civiliza\u00e7\u00e3o Brasileira, 1963.) saying that about the novel not being \u201cmy novel\u201d because I didn\u2019t interpret his review that way. But one of Maury\u2019s friends wrote (to Maury) also protesting against that insinuation. In what part did you and he deduce that? Write me \u2013 A journalist (The journalist Edgar Proen\u00e7a. The interview \u201cUm minuto de palestra\u201d [A Minute Lecture]<em> <\/em>was published in the <em>Estado do Par\u00e1 <\/em>(Bel\u00e9m, February 20, 1944).) from here wrote a piece about me: he represents the <em>Lux-Jornal <\/em>&nbsp;here and that\u2019s how he knows about me. It gives me goosebumps. Imagine that he made me say: \u201cI write because I find in it a pleasure that I don\u2019t know how to translate. I am not pretentious. I write for myself, for me to feel my soul speaking and singing, sometimes crying&#8230; My first literary experiments intimidated me in the beginning. Afterwards, an immediate resolution. I published them.\u201d I\u2019ve read them in <em>Vamos Ler <\/em>and other magazines (he says).&nbsp; \u2013 That\u2019s right, I answered. Then I prepared the book that is a piece of my sensibility. Is your curiosity satisfied? (see what a coarse and funny question that is&#8230;) Etc. etc. I need not say that I didn\u2019t even talk to him. I only gave him upon request some reviews of <em>Lux-Jornal<\/em>, of which he transcribed a section. He even says I have \u201cintellectual tact\u201d &#8230; \u201cThus we read without boredom, without intervals, the short stories and art of C.L.\u201d \u2013 I don\u2019t know where to publish my short stories and I don\u2019t actually wish to. It would be good to publish them anywhere just to have them in print and, in case we insist, for me to be able to present them. Knowing that I was a journalist, they asked me to collaborate with a newspaper and a magazine. But it\u2019s impossible\u2026 you\u2019ll see.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;(&#8230;) I\u2019m sending you some clippings. Read the short story, which is very good. Susana will also like it. It\u2019s precisely her genre. When I read it I was thinking of you. \u2013 You certainly received a long letter from me after the one that you answered. Write to me. Hugs from yours truly<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clarice<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Show Elisa the clippings&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":6030,"parent":6511,"menu_order":47,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6500","acervo","type-acervo","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>067385 - Clarice Lispector<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/site.claricelispector.ims.com.br\/acervo\/letters\/067385-2\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"067385 - Clarice Lispector\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Bel\u00e9m, February 23, 1944 Tania, darling: I\u2019m only writing to you today for a little conversation, since there is nothing new to report, and I\u2019m still busy.
