Publisher Description Clarice Lispectors audacious and haunting last novel, new to Penguin Modern ClassicsLiving in the slums of Rio and eking out a living as a typist, Macabea loves movies, Coca-Cola and her philandering rat of a boyfriend; she would like to be like Marilyn Monroe, but she is ugly and unloved. Yet telling her story is the narrator Rodrigo S.M., who tries to direct Macabeas fate but comes to realize that, for all her outward misery, she is inwardly free.
