Publisher Description: "Rodrigo de Souza Lećo is an exceptional author and has had a major impact on contemporary Brazilian literature."--Paulo Scott All Dogs are Blue is a scurrilously funny tale of life in a Rio insane asylum. Its raw style and comic inventiveness signal a major voice in Brazilian literature. Sadly the author died, aged forty-three, soon after it was published in 2008. Due to his mental fragility, Rodrigo de Souza Lećo rarely left his house and yet, through social media, blogging, and e-mail, he became close to many Brazilian writers and poets and remains highly regarded today. |
