A Breath of Life is Clarice Lispector's final novel,'written in agony',which she did not live to see published. Sensual and mysterious,it is a mystical dialogue between a god-like author and the creation he breathes life into: the speaking,shifting,indefinable Angela Pralini. As he has created Angela,so,eventually,he must let her die,for life is merely'a kind of madness that death makes.'This is a unique,elegiac meditation on the creation of life,and of art.
