Letters from a Seducer: John Keene on translating Brazilian great Hilda Hilst and the influence of Brazil on his own work
Newly-minted MacArthur Genius John Keene discusses his work translating Hilda Hilst, to whom the 2018 Pessoa Festival pays tribute. Hilst’s Letters from a Seducer is a work which 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. Moderated by Anderson Tepper of Vanity Fair.
