The Woman Who Killed the Fish
Buch
That woman who killed the fish unfortunately is me, begins the title story, but if it were my fault, I'd own up to you, since I don't lie to boys and girls. I only lie sometimes to a certain type of grownup because there's no other way. Enumerating all the animals she's loved-cats, dogs, lizards, chickens, monkeys-Clarice finally asks: Do you forgive me? The Mystery of the Thinking Rabbit is a detective story which explains that bunnies think with their noses: for a single idea a bunny might scrunch up his nose fifteen thousand times (he may not be too bright, but he's not foolish at all when it comes to making babies).

That woman who killed the fish unfortunately is me, begins the title story, but if it were my fault, I'd own up to you, since I don't lie to boys and girls. I only lie sometimes to a certain type of grownup because there's no other way. Enumerating all the animals she's loved-cats, dogs, lizards, chickens, monkeys-Clarice finally asks: Do you forgive me? The Mystery of the Thinking Rabbit is a detective story which explains that bunnies think with their noses: for a single idea a bunny might scrunch up his nose fifteen thousand times (he may not be too bright, but he's not foolish at all when it comes to making babies). The third tale, Almost True, is a shaggy dog yarn narrated by a pooch who is very worried about a wicked witch: I am a dog named Ulisses and my owner is Clarice. The wonderful last story, Laura's Intimate Life stars the nicest hen I've ever seen. Laura is quite dumb, but she has her little thoughts and feelings. Not a lot, but she's definitely got them. Just knowing she's not completely dumb makes her feel all chatty and giddy. She thinks that she thinks. A visitor with one eye from Jupiter arrives and vows Laura will never be eaten: she's been worrying since humans are a weird sort of person who can love hens and eat them, too. Such throwaway wisdom abounds: Don't even getting me started. These delightful, high-hearted stories, written for her own boys, have charm to burn-and are a treat for every Lispector reader.
