Hilda Hilst (1930–2004) was one of the greatest Brazilian writers of the twentieth century, but her books have languished untranslated, in part because of their formally radical nature. This translation of With My Dog-Eyes brings a crucial work from her oeuvre into English for the first time. With My Dog-Eyes is an account of an unraveling—of sanity, of language . . . After experiencing a vision of what he calls “a clear-cut unhoped-for,” college professor Amós Keres struggles to reconcile himself with his life as a father, a husband, and a member of the university with its “meetings, asskissers, pointless rivalries, gratuitous resentments, jealous talk, megalomanias.”A stunning book by a master of the avant-garde.

Junto com A Obscena Senhora D e O Caderno Rosa de Lori Lambi, Cartas de um Sedutor compõe a trilogia erótico-pornográfica de Hilda Hilst. Em Cartas de um Sedutor, a autora descreve o cotidiano de Karl, um homem rico, amoral e culto, que busca a explicação para sua incompreensão da vida através do sexo. Karl escreve e envia vinte cartas provocativas a Cordélia, sua casta irmã. Os textos das cartas se misturam à vida de Stamatius, um poeta que encontra no lixo os manuscritos de Karl. Após a primeira leitura, percebe-se que ambos - Karl e Stamatius - são a mesma pessoa em tempos e condições diversos, mas com posturas diferentes diante dos mesmos questionamentos. O contraponto entre um e outro é o mote para uma obra de grandeza ímpar e absolutamente humana no seu sentido mais divino. A história do livro. Cartas de um Sedutor foi lançado originalmente em 1991. Após a publicação de A Obscena Senhora D, Júbilo, Memória, Noviciado da Paixão, e Bufólicas, Cartas de um sedutor é a quarta obra da autora a ser relançada pela Editora Globo, que publicará a obra completa de Hilda Hilst, incluindo 31 títulos, entre prosa e poesia.

The Obscene Madame D is the first work by acclaimed Brazilian author Hilda Hilst to be published in English. Radically irreverent and formally impious, this novel portrays an unyielding radical intelligence, a sixty-year-old woman who decides to live in the recess under the stairs. In her diminutive space, Madame D―for dereliction―relives the perplexity of her recently deceased lover who cannot comprehend her rejection of common sense, sex, and a simple life, in favor of metaphysical speculations that he supposes to be delusional and vain.
