Novas formas da escrita de Clarice Lispector: o manuscrito Objeto gritante e a ficção tardia clariciana

Abstract

Clarice Lispector was one of the greatest Brazilian writers and has been one of the most studied. Many comparisons were made between her writing and some of the major literary icons worldwide. However, this did not happen to her later fiction produced in the 70 s. These pieces, with a few exceptions, were somewhat neglected by critics. Some researchers such as Marta Peixoto and Sonia Roncador sought to prove that the lack of attention to Clarice's later fiction is due to the fact that it shows trends that go against the characteristics of what this author previously produced, as if the writer had wished to create a repertoire of ways that contradicted her production before1970. To demonstrate this intention, this paper analyzes the characteristics of the Objeto gritante manuscript - never published - which, after a series of changes, turned out to become the book Água viva. If the manuscript had not suffered substantial redirections, it would have been the first formal occurrence of Clarice's new writing style, but that consolidation only occurred in her later work
