description: Rodrigo de Souza Leo is an exceptional author and has had a major impact on contemporary Brazilian literature.Paulo ScottAll Dogs are Blue is a scurrilously funny tale of life in a Rio insane asylum. Its raw style and comic inventiveness signal a major voice in Brazilian literature. Sadly the author died aged forty-three soon after it was published in 2008.Due to his mental fragility Rodrigo de Souza Leo rarely left his house and yet through social media blogging and e-mail he became close to many Brazilian writers and poets and remains highly regarded today.
