With My Dog Eyes

A Novel

Hilda Hilst

"With My Dog Eyes" is an extraordinary, metaphysical book by a Brazilian master of the avant-garde. The story follows Amos Keres, a mathematics professor whose life takes a sudden and strange turn. As he struggles to express himself, his "clearcut unhoped-for" vision drives him to madness and death. Written in a fragmented style that reflects the protagonist's fragile hold on reality, the book is a vivid and lacerating tale of a descent into hell. Despite its dark theme, there is an odd sense of hope in the end as Amos retreats towards the animal world. A truly unique and captivating read.
