Beyond passion, Living Water aims at the heart of life and defies death in its defense of joy. “In Living Water, a sort of long letter to an unknown addressee, Clarice Lispector lets the mind run free, evoking the strength of the moment, writing, painting, or her own loneliness. The result is a book of singular vigor.” —Le Monde Where are the limits of language? Living Water is a way to experience those very limits. A vague epistle to a mute recipient, this work constantly surpasses the borders of that ample family of heartbreak letters it partly belongs to. This book, defying the limits and conventions uncompromisingly, opens a shared space for the one who writes and the one who reads. A fundamental piece in the author’s literary production, as well as in literature written in the Portuguese language.
