Yet one step into the novel and we find a first-person narrator, G.H., in a state of absolute concentration and interior expansion after crossing what would become for her a limit experience. After dispensing the maid, G.H. starts cleaning the maid\u2019s quarters. The cleaning has barely started and she sees a cockroach. Repulsed by the insect, she decides to smash it against the closet door. The decisive moment of the plot and discourse is when G.H. devours the white, pasty mass of the dead cockroach. This gesture triggers the human deconstruction of the character and imposes a sudden (in)comprehension of this \u201cdifficult construction that is called life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps from that moment it is possible to understand why Clarice would be happy with a certain type of reader. This is a book in which everything contributes to a shock experience, a limit experience centered on G.H.\u2019s encounter with the insect. It is necessary, then, that this potential reader \u201cwhose outlook is fully formed,\u201d hand in hand with the protagonist, assumes with her all the risks of this katabasis, this movement of descent into the underworld that few, very few, can withstand. To descend into the \u201chell of raw life\u201d with the fear of those who know that they are \u201cgoing toward madness, but toward a truth:\u201d that is the damnation and wasteland of G.H., the origin and collapse of everything to which she had always been accustomed. The organizable quotidian, the reassuring certainties, the civility and putative humanity: everything gradually and painfully collapses in the ritualistic gesture of devouring the dead cockroach. G.H. spans herself and her opposite, the world and the other side of the world, aware of the impossibility of narrating what she had experienced, of making that \u201cprimary struggle for life\u201d communicable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the novel, the operation of writing also emerges as an experience of concentration and intensity. Language overflows, surpasses and shatters, cuts, hesitates and breaks the silence, pounces like a tiger onto the chest of the reader, whispers, detaches itself from the conventional senses and, at the same time, reveals itself to be both abundant and insufficient for fulfilling the steps of G.H.\u2019s passion. In this meticulous operation of writing, which extracts the maximum from a banal plot, Clarice accomplishes what for many will be her greatest literary endeavor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2934,"template":"","categories":[575],"class_list":["post-4113","livro","type-livro","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-novels"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.5 -
