Quase de verdade: quatro fábulas de Clarice Lispector (vida, crianças e bichos)

Abstract

Under the rubric of the biographic criticism, this text intends to establish an intrinsic relationship between author and composition. From the reading of the four Lispector‘s fables, O mistério do coelho pensante (1967), A mulher que matou os peixes (1968), A vida íntima de Laura (1975) e Quase de verdade (1978), and using a theoretical- critical display that includes Roland Barthes, Eneida Maria de Souza, among others we will try to detect how the biographic-cultural relationship happens in the composition conducted to Clarice Lispector’s kids. In this relationship that involves life and composition inscribes the “bio” that leads to other possible ways to be imagined and established, metaphorically though, broadening the possibilities of literal work comprehension as a composition of culture. Among the possible forms of relationship, we highlight the “metaphorical influences” or “literal friendships”, that approximate writers and compositions, even when the relationship hasn‘t happened in the historical way indeed. This way, it is suitable to highlight that our reading will also analyze the notion of friendship, which is essential for this research, yet the friends also represent as an authorial hint in Lispector‘s work. Thus, the reading of Clarice Lispector‘s child fables copes with the aims of this research, in this way, they present as a tale of the writer‘s own life, once her stories of real life serve as supplement for fiction and vice-versa.
