The water is alive

“Living Water” is an experimental novel about the nature of life and the time of the most important Brazilian writer of the twentieth century Clarisi Lector, written in the form of an improvisational poetic monologue, in which the picturesque, musical and tactile properties of the text are the first. The unconventional depth, sensuality and the desire for universality do not allow to give prose the lipper unambiguous genre definitions, carrying the reader with witchcraft, demiurgic vortex in the world of synesthesia, bare existence between animals, plant and human.
