The Hour of the Star. Why?

I’m not sure the point of writing about an insignificant person, and commenting on how insignificant they are. It’s depressing. To create a character and mistreat them so deliberately is just cruel. Poor Macabea, created, abused, given hope and then killed. Why? Why read this? Why write this? And the commentary on the actual writing of the book is for the authors journal, I’m uninterested. It just seemed self-indulgent.
Olimpico was an asshole.

The only thing I am remotely interested in is the sexuality of the narrator. I got some male vibes, for example I think he had a beard. So has Clarice Lispector created a male novelist and chosen to write a story about him writing a story? I just don’t understand. I just didn’t care. I don’t know what to say.
