Editing Clarice Lispector (section)

===''The Woman Who Killed the Fish'' and ''An Apprenticeship or The Book of Pleasure''s===
In 1968, Lispector participated in the political demonstrations against Brazil's hardening military dictatorship, and also published two books: her second work for children, ''A Mulher que matou os peixes'' (''The Woman Who Killed the Fish''), in which the narrator, Clarice, confesses to having forgotten to feed her son's fish, and ''An Apprenticeship or The Book of Pleasures.''

Her first novel since ''G.H.'', ''Uma Aprendizagem ou O Livro dos Prazeres'' was a love story between a primary teacher, Lóri, and a philosophy teacher, Ulisses. The book drew on her writings in her newspaper columns, as she conducted interviews for the glossy magazine ''Manchete''. The book received a new translation in April 2021 by New Directions. ''Cleveland Review of Books'' called it "a novel about the distance between people, but also the distances between the self and the self, the self and 'the God.'"<ref>{{Cite web|title=The Nothing is The Everything: On Clarice Lispector's "An Apprenticeship or The Book of Pleasures"|url=https://www.clereviewofbooks.com/home/clarice-lispector-an-apprenticeship-review|access-date=December 7, 2021|website=Cleveland Review of Books|language=en-US}}</ref>
