Read All Dogs are Blue Storyline:
All Dogs are Blue is a scurrilously funny tale of life in a Rio de Janeiro insane asylum. Kept awake by blaring Rio funk and fantasies about his aunt, our narrator misses his old toy dog, keeps company with Rimbaud and Baudelaire, and becomes the leader of a popular cult. In 2008, the raw comic inventiveness of All Dogs are Blue took Brazil by storm. It was to be Rodrigo de Souza Leão’s last masterpiece, for he died in 2009. His work is being filmed and Juan Pablo Villalobos (author of Down the Rabbit Hole) is translating it into Spanish. ‘We’re the minority,’ says our narrator, ‘but at least I say what I want.’ All Dogs are Blue is an extraordinary outpouring about mental illness and its controversial treatment, revealing the illumination of the ill in a troubled society.Pages of All Dogs are Blue :
