Água viva dá continuidade ao projeto de edições especiais reproduzindo os manuscritos e datiloscritos originais de Clarice Lispector, iniciado com A hora da estrela e que será continuado com Um sopro de vida. Obedecendo ao conceito geral da coleção, este volume reúne importantes textos de referência, assim como a carta do filósofo José Américo Pessanha que teve influência decisiva na transformação de Objeto gritante em Água viva, obra que é ao mesmo tempo a mais autobiográfica e a mais misteriosa da bibliografia clariceana. Igualmente importantes são os ensaios de Alexandrino Severino, Sônia Roncador, Ana Claudia Abrantes e Teresa Montero, que lançam luz sobre diferentes aspectos de Água viva, o único livro que, reconhecidamente, Clarice Lispector hesitou em editar em virtude de seu caráter revelador, experimental e "antiliterário".
