Happy birthday, dear Hilda Hilst! May your day be as delightfully provocative and wonderfully surreal as "The Obscene Madame D." Your fearless exploration of intimacy, madness, and the supernatural has left readers both enchanted and scandalized—exactly how you like it. Who else could make insanity seem so poetic or seduction feel existential?From crafting haunting verses to penning unforgettable letters from a charming seducer in "Cartas de um Sedutor," you've consistently blurred boundaries between reality and imagination with wit that defies time itself. Here's hoping this year brings even more literary mischief—and perhaps fewer visits from ghosts (unless they're bringing cake).
