The Foreign Legion
ByPublisher Description
"A radiant beauty of a writer."—The Los Angeles Times
The Foreign Legion is a collection in two parts, gathering both stories and chronicles, and it offers wonderful evidence of Clarice Lispector's unique sensibility and range as an exponent of experimental prose. It opens with thirteen stories and the second part of the book presents her newspaper crônicas, which Lispector said she retrieved from a bottom drawer.Download the free Fable app
