Reading The Hour of the Star | Alexandria
Read The Hour of the Star by Clarice Lispector. Haunting us with raw existence, Lispector's icon Macabéa exposes our complicity in ignoring life's least noticed souls. Through this barely-living typist, we confront an unsettling truth: authentic being requires embracing both beauty and ugliness, triumph and failure. Her radical passivity becomes a mirror, reflecting our own struggles to live genuinely in an artificial world.
