A Paixão segundo G.H., translated into English as The Passion According to G.H., is a 1964 novel by Brazilian novelist Clarice Lispector.
Written in an intensely introspective style, the novel deals with an upper-class woman, known only as G.H., who enters the room where her maid has lived till recently. G.H. sees a cockroach in the room, spurring her into a series of intense rhapsodies and revelations about her place in nature and her relation to the past of the Earth. "G.H." is an abbreviation of "gênero humano", which is Portuguese for "human race".
