Why This World: A Biography of Clarice Lispector is a book by Benjamin Moser published by Oxford University Press in 2009.[1] Benjamin Moser details the majority of Clarice Lispector's and then discusses the connections between her life and her work.

Synopsis

Moser discusses how Clarice Lispector's work reflects her life. He does this by citing her own texts, letters, other scholarly work and what few interviews there are of her.[2] Moser goes into great detail on the connections that can be made between Lispector's writing and her life[1]. Moser uses letter written to and from Lispector, Lispector's own sisters, Elisa Lispector's autobiography, interviews with Lispector and Lispector's own writings[1].

Critical Reception

Critical reception for Why This World was largely positive.[2][3][4] Common praise for the book centered around Moser addressing many of Lispector's texts that were untranslated or not as widely read outside of Brazil, which one reviewer for Shofar stated brought more of her work to a wider audience.[5] Reviewing the book for the Luso-Brazilian Review, Earl E. Fitz remarked on the book's handling of Lispector's texts that were lesser known outside of Brazil, criticizing it on how the texts were interpreted[4].

Awards

2009 National Book Critics Circle Award Biography finalist[6]
