SUMMARY:The Hour of the Star by Clarice Lispector
DESCRIPTION:Narrated by the cosmopolitan Rodrigo S.M.\, this brief\, strange\, and haunting tale is the story of Macabéa\, one of life’s unfortunates. Living in the slums of Rio de Janeiro and eking out a poor living as a typist\, Macabéa loves movies\, Coca-Cola\, and her rat of a boyfriend; she would like to be like Marilyn Monroe\, but she is ugly\, underfed\, sickly\, and unloved. Rodrigo recoils from her wretchedness\, and yet he cannot avoid realization that for all her outward misery\, Macabéa is inwardly free. She doesn’t seem to know how unhappy she should be. Lispector employs her pathetic heroine against her urbane\, empty narrator–edge of despair to edge of despair–and\, working them like a pair of scissors\, she cuts away the reader’s preconceived notions about poverty\, identity\, love\, and the art of fiction.
