Soulstorm

Twenty-nine stories and short pieces, originally two separate collections, one written as a challenge from her editor — The Stations of the Body — stories about sex and the body written during one weekend, as well as a longer, more developed collection, Where You Were At Night, concerning the inner lives of women. Both are remarkable, both are unmistakably Lispector.
