This book is the first collection of critical essays on Hilda Hilst
(1930-2004) published in English. It brings together a variety of
perspectives on one of Latin America's most inventive and
innovative authors. Nine essays by scholars and translators reflect
about various aspects of her work, placing it in the context of
Brazil and world literature. During her lifetime, Hilst won several
major national literary awards and attracted legions of devoted
readers. Her writing spanned styles and genres, encompassing
poetry, theatre, and experimental fiction. She was also considered
to be "a writer's writer," and her literary achievements eluded
both mainstream acclaim and international recognition. In recent
years, Hilst's books have enjoyed increased visibility in Brazil
and beyond. A host of translators (including three contributors to
this volume) have finally made some of her masterpieces available
in English. This pioneering collection of essays should excite
longtime readers and introduce her to a new audience.
