With My Dog-Eyes: A Novel

"In With My Dog-Eyes, we witness Hilda Hilst at the peak of her brilliance. The late poet turned novelist — in just under 100 pages — tells the story of Amós Kéres, an expert in pure mathematics who is losing his grasp on reality. He jumbles his sentences and appears aloof during class. Everyone recognizes that he is deeply troubled. Eventually, Amós denounces them all and leaves home in search of answers, but what he learns only adds to the depth of his madness. Told through poetic and disjointed prose, With My Dog-Eyes is a dark and truly singular work."
