The Hour of the Star, Clarice Lispector’s consummate final novel, may well be her masterpiece. Narrated by the cosmopolitan Rodrigo S.M., this brief, strange, and haunting tale is the story of Macabéa, one of life’s unfortunates. Living in the slums of Rio and eking out a poor living as a typist, Macabéa loves movies, Coca-Colas, and her rat of a boyfriend; she would like to be like Marilyn Monroe, but she is ugly, underfed, sickly and unloved. Rodrigo recoils from her wretchedness, and yet he cannot avoid the realization that for all her outward misery, Macabéa is inwardl

One of Julio Cortázar’s great early novels. "Anyone who doesn’t read Cortázar is doomed."âPablo Neruda In its characters, themes, and preoccupations, Final Exam prefigures Cortázar’s later fictions, including Blow-Up and his masterpiece, Hopscotch. Written in 1950 (just before the fall of Perón’s government), it is Cortázar’s allegorical, bitter, and melancholy farewell to an Argentina from which he was about to be permanently self-exiled. (Cortázar moved to Paris the following year.) The setting of Final Exam is a surreal Buenos Aires, dar
