The Passion According to G.H. (New Directions Books)

Lispectorâ€™s most shocking novel.

The Passion According to G.H., Clarice Lispectorâ€™s mystical novel of 1964, concerns a well-to-do Rio sculptress, G.H., who enters her maidâ€™s room, sees a cockroach crawling out of the wardrobe, and, panicking, slams the door â€”crushing the cockroach â€”and then watches it die. At the end of the novel, at the height of a spiritual crisis, comes the most famous and most genuinely shocking scene in Brazilian literatureâ€¦

Lispector wrote that of all her works this novel was the one that â€œbest corresponded to her demands as a writer.â€
