{{main|Family Ties (story collection)}}

In Brazil, Lispector struggled financially and tried to find a publisher for the novel she had completed in Washington several years before, as well as for her book of stories, ''Laços de família'' (''Family Ties''). This book included the six stories of ''Some Stories'' along with seven new stories, some of which had been published in ''Senhor''. It was published in 1960. The book, her friend [[Fernando Sabino]] wrote her, was "exactly, sincerely, indisputably, and even humbly, the best book of stories ever published in Brazil."<ref>Fernando Sabino and Clarice Lispector, ''Cartas perto do coração'', p. 124.</ref> And [[Érico Veríssimo]] said: "I haven't written about your book of stories out of sheer embarrassment to tell you what I think of it. Here goes: the most important story collection published in this country since [[Machado de Assis]]", Brazil's classic novelist.<ref>Lispector, ''Correspondências'', [[Érico Veríssimo]] to Lispector (September 3, 1961).</ref>
