Clarice Lispector becomes a reference for global pop stars

Brazilian author Clarice Lispector has become a significant point of reference for several major international pop stars. The Icelandic musician Bjork has revealed that an encounter with a cockroach inspired her upcoming music, drawing from the themes of de-subjectification and identity loss found in Lispector’s work, ‘A Paixão Segundo G. H.’

Other prominent artists also show an affinity for her writing. Dua Lipa has recommended Lispector’s titles through her book club, the New Zealander Lorde has utilized the author's works to inform her recent album compositions, and Olivia Rodrigo has been noted for studying ‘A Hora da Estrela’.
