Described by Clarice Lispector as 'the best one', this intoxicating portrayal of a man searching for his destiny is her mystical, enigmatic masterpiece 'All I've got is hunger. And that instable way of grasping an apple in the dark-without letting it fall' Martim, believing that he has committed a murder, flees the city and escapes into the night.

a very good book by one of the very best authours of the 20th century, Clarice Lispector. Although I like Stream of Life and Passion according to GH better, this is also a very good book by an author that has yet to be fully recognized as the genius she was.
