Lispector’s final novel, her most accessible (not a word typically associated with this writer), her most concretely grounded in a specific place, Rio de Janeiro, and time, the present, is a masterwork of interrogation.
... The Hour of the Star [contains] all her talents and eccentricities merged and folded in a densely self-conscious narrative.
Lyrical, funny, finally quite sad.
... reminiscent of old-fashioned naturalism, but the intention is far from that.
