The Complete Stories is bound to become a kind of bedside Bible or I Ching for readers of Lispector, both old and new.--Valeria Luiselli "Publishers Weekly (starred review)"

Sphinx, sorceress, sacred monster. The revival of the hypnotic Clarice Lispector has been one of the true literary events of the twenty-first century, with the real landmark, to my mind, her glittering and savage Complete Stories.--Parul Sehgal "The New York Times"

Terrifically funny: Language, for her, was the self's right.--Lorrie Moore

It's not enough to say that Lispector bends language or uses words in new ways. Plenty of modernists do that. No one else writes prose this rich.--Lily Meyer "NPR"

One of the great literary discoveries of the past decade, for the English-speaking world, is the work of Clarice Lispector.--Tom Beer "Kirkus"
