description: Hilda Hilst (19302004) 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 unravelingof sanity of language . . . After experiencing a vision of what he calls a clear-cut unhoped-for college professor Ams 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.
