Description: "The Obscene Madame D tells the story of Hillâe, a sixty-year-old woman who has decided to abandon conventional life and spend the rest of her days in contemplation in a recess under the stairs. There, she is haunted by the perplexity of her recently deceased lover, Ehud, who cannot understand her rejection of common sense, sex and a simple life in favour of metaphysical speculations that he considers delusional and vain."--
Review Quotes: "Like her fellow Brazilian Clarice Lispector, Hilda Hilst creates interior worlds of hallucinogenic surrealism to explore and understand the world on its own strange terms"

"Slim and profane... This book felt like sinking into a fever dream, and achieved the rare feat of both making me laugh out loud and sending me into a philosophical spiral."
