Summary/Abstract: The article presents a critical analysis of Clarice Lispector’s short story titled The Egg and the Chicken [O ovo e a galinha], considered one of Lispector’s most complex pieces of writing. The aim of the paper is to draw attention to the complexity of the story and to demonstrate how the text challenges Lispector’s short fiction on the level of structure and content. In addition, the article aims to highlight the perspective of interpretation related to Lispector’s literary awareness, which has not yet been extensively approached in Poland.
