A Obscena Senhora D by Hilda Hilst
An experimental, often transgressive novel that inhabits the voice of an aging, reclusive matriarch known only as Senhora D., whose alternating cravings for erotic dominion and spiritual transcendence play out through a rotating cast of lovers, servants and interlocutors; rendered in fragmented monologues, theatrical scenes and epistolary bursts, the book probes desire, power, madness, mortality and the limits of language as the protagonist confronts decay, longing and the dissolution of identity.
