Clarice Lispector was one of the most important Brazilian writers in Portuguese of the 20th century, and her work continues to receive critical attention. This reference provides a detailed record of her life and career. The book begins with introductory material on the difficulties of documenting her work, and on her life as a writer. The chapters that follow provide annotated entries for works written by and about her. The first part of the book contains chapters on each of Lispector's major works. Each chapter begins with a brief critical essay, followed by lists of editions and translations, as well as criticism. Also included are chapters on other works by Lispector. The second part of the volume contains chapters on general works about Lispector's writing, such as biographical accounts, bibliographies and other reference works, and general criticism. Appendices provide translations of her Portuguese titles, and an index concludes the volume.
