Writing by Ear examines the explicit articulation of listening-in-writing found in the work of Brazilian novelist Clarice Lispector. The terms “writing by ear,” the “aural novel,” and “echopoetics” rethink fiction as a poetics of listening to the world.
Marilia Librandi is an assistant professor of Brazilian literature in the Department of Iberian and Latin American Cultures at Stanford. Visiting Professor at Princeton University.
"While contributing to our understanding of Clarice Lispector, Writing by Ear offers a rational and compelling argument about how and why she is being received so enthusiastically by a new generation of readers, in Brazil and across the globe."
Pedro Meira Monteiro, Arthur W. Marks ’19 Professor of Spanish and Portuguese, Princeton University:
"In this book, Marília Librandi analyzes the juncture of the sonorous aspect of speech and the silent nature of reading, looking at what is produced between sounds and silence. By means of a wide theoretical discussion, as well as a close reading of Lispector in her relationship to the acts of writing and listening, Librandi avoids any false opposition between silence and sounds, and investigates that which she aptly calls the ‘conjugation of these two moments – their friction.’"
