Moser’s biography follows the enigmatic Brazilian writer, Clarice Lispector (1920-1977), from her birth in Ukraine and her Jewish family’s emigration to Brazil, through her marriage to a Brazilian diplomat and the years the couple spent in Europe and the United States. Drawing on interviews and newly available documents, Moser demonstrates the importance of Jewish mystical tradition in Lispector’s life and work.
