At Publishing Perspectives Benjamin Moser writes about how Brazil's Clarice Lispector Gets a Second Chance in English, with new editions and in most cases new translations forthcoming from New Directions and Penguin (with a great set of covers for the 2012 titles).
Moser -- who wrote the Lispector-biography, Why this World (get your copy at Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk) -- did the new translation of the first title to be released, The Hour of the Star (get your copy at Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk), and from what he writes in this piece it sounds like this is a very promising undertaking, and that Lispector might well be the 2012 rediscovery of the year (like Albert Cossery arguably was last year). I look forward to these titles, and I'll certainly be covering them.
