La vida íntima de la Laura

Laura's private life is the "mini thoughts and mini feelings" of the protagonist of this story, which Clarice Lispector wrote for her son. Laura lives in Mrs. Luísa's yard, where everything happens. She strikes up a conversation with her colleagues, occasionally fights with her husband, takes care of the son who doesn't stop eating, scares off night thieves and hides from the terrible cook, who threatens to end her in the oven if it doesn't lay enough eggs... Oh, by the way, Laura is a hen. This story answers the dilemma that we have humans versus animals: what good company, but what good stew! And he does it with the affectionate cruelty that nature spends on all living beings: he narrates without a veil, and with a lot of humor and tenderness, the adventures of a chicken aware that it could be eaten any day.
