Since Machado de Assis, literature in Brazil has always had a fruitful tradition of great chroniclers among whom of course could not miss the name of Clarice Lispector, undoubtedly the most influential Brazilian writer of the twentieth century.

This volume, which brings together all of his already legendary collaborations in the Jornal do Brasil —written between 1967 and 1973—, also includes more than a hundred unpublished texts published in other newspapers and magazines, thus offering us a complete overview of his work as a chronicler. In these texts, Lispector shows us in a double aspect: on the one hand, as the housewife faced with the most prosaic domestic problems – the administration of the family budget, the soup that must be returned, the chronic dumbness of the telephone, the education of children; But, at the same time, it also appears as an honest and close voice that speaks to us about love and death, about the passage of time, the unknowns of the "I" and the revolt against daily resignation. In short, an intimate and brilliant Clarice, capable of transforming the everyday fact into pure metaphysics, into authentic literature.
