Clarice Lispector: Talking to Readers in a Newspaper Column analyses the relationship Clarice Lispector established with her readers through the weekly crônica (literary column) she wrote for the Rio daily Jornal do Brasil from 1967 to 1973, examining how brevity and other characteristics of newspaper writing allowed her to move increasingly closer to her public. The need for a lighter touch imposed by the column format gradually changed her writing - much of which consisting in extracts from her novels or short stories - from words of exile to words of communion. Throughout this trajectory from secrecy to freedom, Lispector herself was her own main character, and her readers - with whom she claimed to correspond - may have been present as characters too. The works produced during this period, collected in A descoberta do mundo (The Discovery of the World), are the object of analysis of this dissertation, which shows how Lispector used her column to practice intratextuality in her literary production, rereading and rewriting her own texts.
