In Letters from a Seducer, Hilst describes the everyday life of Karl, a wealthy,
erudite, and amoral man who seeks an answer to his incomprehension of life
through sex. Karl writes and sends twenty provocative letters to Cordelia, his
chaste sister. The letters' text becomes intertwined with the life of the poet
Stamatius, who finds Karl's letters in the trash, as Hilst constructs an
ingenious mirror play between the two that casts strange light on questions of
amorality, sexuality and the spirit.Linguistically rich and endlessly playful,
Letters from a Seducer is a work of perverse genius by one of Brazil's greatest
modern writers.
