| An aphasic Brazillian mathematics professor narrates his own decline into insanity. Hilda Hilst was a Brazillian author whose works often addressed the topic of insanity (perhaps because both of her parents suffered from mental illness when she was a child.) Although she died in 2004, this short novel was translated from Portuguese into English only in 2014. To see whether her unusually poetic "stream of consciousness" writing style is your "cup of tea", try reading the portion of the English translation which is (currently) available free from Bomb Magazine. |

Where are the new works of mathematical fiction?: As you can see from this chronological listing, this database includes many works of mathematical fiction for each year from 1990 to 2025. Strangely, only two are listed for 2026, so far. Either less mathematical fiction is being published than in previous years or I'm just having more trouble finding it. If you know of any works of fiction that should be added to this list, especially recently published ones, please let me know. (Keep in mind that I do not include self-published works or children's fiction that just covers elementary mathematical concepts.) Thanks!
