| Résumé: | Many critics have called Clarice Lispector a mystic. Lispector, however, was not a religious figure, but rather a 20th-century Brazilian writer who was influenced by both her Jewish background and her Catholic Brazilian context. There are various forms of Jewish and Christian mysticism that reject transcendent union with God and, by referencing them, I elucidate the complexity of Lispector’s mystical fiction. By looking at challenges to mystical union in these traditions, I aim to show the ethical complexity of this concept and how that complexity is deepened through Lispector’s writing as she problematises blurred boundaries between self and Other. |
