We first met in the 2010s, while we were both attending MFA programs in the New York area. Ananda Lima was a poet–fiction writer, and Bruna Dantas Lobato was a translator–fiction writer. Both of us are from Brazil and work in English, after pursuing higher education in the US. Even after we moved to different cities, our paths kept crossing.

So much of my early motherhood took place in museums: wandering through exhibitions at the Brooklyn Museum with my newborn sleeping in her carrier against my chest, or nursing on a bench in front of Albert Bierstadt’s A Storm in the Rocky Mountains, Mt. Rosalie, gratefully transported into its ravaged skies and craggy peaks and piercing sunlight. Its sublime landscape felt so much larger than the claustrophobic milk rhythms of our days.

Clarice Lispector is one of Brazil's more interesting, inventive younger novelists, highly conscious of the modern European movements, both in thought and style. Elements of Unamuno's religious meditations, Lawrence's moody sexual parables (particularly The Fox). and Kazantzakis' amorphous primitivism can be traced in her strange and puzzling drama of salvation, The Apple in the Dark.
