An existential and visceral meditation on life, death, degradation, and transcendence. Clarice Lispector follows G.H., a woman who confronts her inner abyss upon discovering a cockroach in her apartment, leading her to a radical transformation of her being.
The book is a linguistic and philosophical experiment, in which the account of a minuscule experience expands into profound questions about the nature of existence, compassion, and the possibility of spiritual renewal.

”When I discovered and understood The Passion According to G.H., almost 20 years ago, I cried a great deal over the beauty of the writing, and over the tormented writer pouring out her genius and her pain onto those pages. I cried over that difficult portrait of the human soul.”
