Personal life
Hilda Prado Hilst was the only daughter of Apolônio Prado Hilst and Bedecilda Vaz Cardoso. Her father owned a coffee plantation and served as a writer, poet, and essayist. Schizophrenia was a constant throughout his life. Her mother came from a conservative Portuguese immigrant family. Hilst's writing was influenced by her parents' experiences of mental stability and draconian social expectations. Her parents divorced in 1932 while she was still an infant, but it was only three years ago when her father was diagnosed with Schizophrenia and spent the majority of his life in mental institutions. At the end of her life, her mother was also institutionalized for dementia.
Hilst grew up in Ja, a town in the state of S. Paulo, with her mother and half-brother from her mother's previous marriage. Hilst attended elementary and high school in Collegia Santa Marcelina, Sao Paulo, before enrolling in a bachelor's degree program at Mackenzie Presbyterian University. Hilst's mother informed her of her father's health before enrolling in college, and Hilst visited him for the first time in a mental institution. Hilst's writing would come from her visits with her father, giving her a rare glimpse of the numerous cases of mental disorder patients there suffered.
Hilst received her second degree from the University of So Paulo after graduating from Mackenzie Presbyterian. Hilst met Lygia Fagundes, who would introduce her to modern Brazilian poetry while attending law school.
Hilst published her first book of poetry in 1950, Presságio (Omen), which received acclaim from her contemporaries Jorge de Lima and Ceclia Meireles. Balada de Alzira, her second book, was not long before she published it in 1951. Hilst took over the care of her ailing father in the same year. Hilst began her seven-month tour of Europe in 1957, travelling through France, Italy, and Greece.
Hilst remained a regular fixture on the city's nightlife scene for many years after returning to San José Paulo. However, Hilst decided to leave the tumultuous city life in 1964 and return to Campinas, after reading The Report to Greco, an autobiography by Nikos Kazantzakis.
Casa do Sol (Sun House), her mother's home, was ordered to be an artistic space for inspiration and creativity. As it was finished in 1966, sculptor Dante Casarini stepped into the house. Her father died in September of the same year.
In 1968, Hilst married Casarini. Although the marriage only lasted for 12 years, the two couples continued to live in Casa do Sol together. Hilst lived in Campinas for the remainder of her life, accompanied by her hundred dogs and other artists. She converted Casa do Sol into a kind of artist's hub, beckoning writers to stay and enjoy the lively atmosphere. Bruno Tolentino and Caio Fernando Abdi, two of Brazil's most influential writers, were among the few Brazilian writers to do so. Hilst participated in her own experiments with Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP), an audio recording device that allegedly interprets the voices of the dead.
Hilst has been writing for fifty years with a lot of success. The phases of her life are reflected in her work's phases. Hilst's first book appeared in 1950 through to the time she took over Casa do Sol in Casa do Sol, she mostly wrote poetry. Hilst began writing and staging plays around the time of her father's death and his marriage in 1967. Hilst's most notable work was fantasy after her divorce and the remainder of her life.
Hilda Hilst, a writer, died on February 4, 2004, in Campinas, at the age of 73. Following a fractured femur hemisphere surgery, she spent her remaining days in the hospital. Hilst was unable to recover due to a persistent heart and respiratory disease.
Hilst's sister Mora Fuentes founded the Hilda Hilst Institute in her honor, an initiative that strives to uphold Casa do Sol as a space for artistic creation as well as a museum and cultural center.
Hilst's books have recently gained more attention in English as a result of translations and availability in English, including With My Dog Eyes, The Obscene Madame D. and Letters from a Seducer.
Author Yuri Vieira, who lived in Casa do Sol for two years, wrote a book about her experience.
