An apprenticeship, or, The book of pleasures / Clarice Lispector ; translated from the Portuguese by Stefan Tobler ; afterword by Sheila Heti ; edited by Benjamin Moser.
"In The Apprenticeship, or The Book of Pleasures, Clarice Lispector tries to discover how to bridge the gap between people, or how to even begin to try. A woman struggles to emerge from solitude and sadness into love, including sexual love: her guide on this journey is Ulisses, who (yes) leads her patiently into the fullness of life."-- Provided by publisher.
