Água Viva (1973)
Água Viva is a 1973 novel by the Brazilian author Clarice Lispector. The novel has an unconventional form and uses no other form of structure than double paragraph breaks, lacking chapters or sections. It also does not feature conventional plot or named characters and is framed as a directionless monologue from an artist, perhaps speaking to a lover, the public, or the work itself. In the novel, Lispector states that her goal is to fire "an arrow that will sink into the tender and neuralgic centre of the word".
