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 Rimbauld and Baudelaire, and becomes the leader of a popular cult.

'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.
