Best Ebook Online I'm a Box, by Natalia Carrero
Nadila is a writing teacher who believes blindly in the redemptive power of literature. In her search for her own voice, she sets to work studying the complete oeuvre of Brazilian writer Clarice Lispector. As if trying different styles in front of a mirror, the protagonist, who can’t quite figure out who she is or what she has to say, measures herself against the formidably seductive Clarice: she reads her books, copies her style, searches for her, and even ventures with her to the boundaries between imagination and reality. I’m a Box is a 21st century novel about the adventure of imaginative discovery (one detail at a time).

It may try your patience By Pippa Lee WARNING: Reading "I'm a Box" (Soy una Caja) may make you painfully aware that it could have been a very different book (unfortunately and only --we can now all wish) had the author realized which character really owned the story."I'm a Box" refers to the protagonist's feelings of being a mere container, an empty container. This container is Nadila, a young woman who is drifting through life. She has low self-esteem, is insecure and often feels inadequate and trapped within herself. Drowning in angst, one day, she decides that becoming a writer would lead her to her identity and her place in the world and that Clarice Lispector, a celebrated Brazilian author would be her role model, teacher and muse."I'm a Box" is one part fiction and one small part, biography. For those who do not know, Clarice Lispector was a real-life writer who has been hailed by some as the Kafka of Latin American fiction and the greatest Brazilian writer of the 20th century. She died in 1977. Ms. Carrero uses the first person point of view combined with a generous helping of the stream of consciousness technique to make readers privy to the thoughts and emotions of Nadila as she tries her hand at writing while studying both Clarice's literary work and her life in an effort to mold herself after her favorite author.Nadila's fascination with Clarice borders into obsession, to the point that in her internal dialogues, she assumes Clarice's voice and has conversations with her. The novel is basically a long-winded monologue interrupted by quotes from and biographical bits about Clarice. It is unfortunate that readers have to experience Clarice through Nadila's eyes and voice. In fact, while plodding through Nadila's self-deprecating tirades and circular thinking, I found myself wishing that she would shut up and let Clarice tell her story on her own. In real life, she was an enigmatic figure. Professor Fitz, a former student of Gregory Rabassa, Lispector's translator, says, "She was an incorrigible liar (...). She wore a lot of masks, and when she would take one off you'd think she was revealing something, but all she was revealing was another mask." Clarice could have definitely made for a much more interesting story. Instead, readers have to settle with glimpses of Lispector's life and acumen as welcomed respites from Nadila's navel gazing."I'm a Box" falls short in its literary aspirations. Nadila's semi-cryptic and sometimes, abstract thoughts and insights are supposed to impress but instead leave the readers mystified and frustrated. The book comes across as trying too hard to parade its own cleverness, and yet it insults the readers' intelligence. How else could one explain the last chapter, which almost reads like an "in case you miss the point, here I'll spell it out for you"? It seems that Ms. Carrero started writing "I'm a Box" with the literati in mind and then suddenly remembered "the rest of us". Well, for the rest of us, there is little I would recommend about the book except that it may stimulate the public's curiosity for Clarice Lispector, whose name and works have been familiar mainly to the literature departments of universities across America.Note: Professor Fitz' quote from "An Enigmatic Author Who Can Be Addictive" by Julie Salamon, March 11, 2005 at nytimes.comDisclosure: this review is based on the Spanish edition of the book, which was provided by Amazon Vine
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Charming but equally confusing. By A. Brink There were parts of this book I found very charming and I liked the pictures and creativity of it too. I even liked the plot very much but many parts were confusing to me. I think it may be a problem in the translation and I think that it would be interesting to see it translated by someone else who knows the nuances of English better. Until then I would not recommend it.
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Unusual novel with pictures By Marco A very attractive narrative experimentation. One of those books you read in one sitting. A curiosity: it has illustrations by the author (as the one in the cover), as if the search of the meaning of sentences and words needs sometimes to be transformed in drawings.
