Imminence by Mariana Dimpulos
Playful on the surface, dark and disturbing in its depths.--J.M. Coetzee, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature
Wonderfully atmospheric and evocative, Dim pulos's latest is exceedingly satisfying.--Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
A new mother holds her month-old son for the first time, but her body betrays her with an absence of feeling. Disoriented, she wanders with her partner around their plant-filled Buenos Aires apartment. Set over the course of an evening, and a lifetime, Imminence shifts seamlessly between the present and the past. Little by little, her world begins to unravel.
In a dreamlike space composed of overlapping vignettes, Irina retraces the mirrored paths of a life filled with images that swell and recede, recalling the intimacies and anxieties she has shared with her female friends, and with her male lovers: Pedro, Ivan, and the sinister Cousin. Feeling herself caught in a web of obligations, she insists time and again: I'm not a woman.
Mariana Dim pulos's mesmerising novel reinforces her standing as one of the most expressive and inventive of contemporary Latin American writers.
