"In her elegant short novel, Mariana Dimópulos explores the compromises a human being makes in taking on the identity and social role of a woman. With its caustic vignettes of male vanity and its subtle self-mockery, Imminence is playful on the surface, dark and disturbing in its depths."–J.M. Coetzee, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature
"[In] this unsettling novella, which unfolds during a single tense evening in Buenos Aires... Irina's sense of alienation–from family, friends, lovers, and the social expectations of womanhood–suffuses her stream-of-consciousness narration."–The New Yorker
Praise for All My Goodbyes
"A marvelously interior novel, unique in its perceptions, that traffics both in the joy of invention and the sorrow of memory."–Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)
"A fascinating kaleidoscope of regret."–Publishers Weekly
"Remarkable . . . The destabilizing sequence of events illuminates Dimópulos's commitment to portraying a new global citizenship characterized by interruption, dispersal, and disruption."–BOMB
"Scientific in its distance and philosophical in its insight, All My Goodbyes is a marvelous, introspective work."–Iowa Gazette
"[A] splintered novella about murders that haunt a girl in Patagonia. Dimópulos constructs time as fluid, making the narrative structure of the book fragmented."–World Literature Today
"Mariana Dimópulos's wonderfully strange and addictive All My Goodbyes is narrated by a woman driven to abandon everything the moment it becomes familiar. The scattered pieces of her story–each of them wonderfully distinct, laced with insight, violence, and sensuality–cohere into a profound evocation of restlessness, of the sublime and imprisoning act of letting go."–Julie Buntin, author of Marlena
"How to describe the clear and mysterious force of Mariana Dimópulos's writing: the brief intensity; the compassionate irony; the grand themes viewed through the lens of a microscope; the recognition and exceeding of past traditions. Above all, it is a writing gestated in unknown lands."–Esther Cross
