Mariana Dimópulos is een Argentijnse auteur wiens literaire talent is gevormd door haar academische achtergrond in de filosofie. Haar werk kenmerkt zich door een diepgaande verkenning van de menselijke ervaring, vaak geïnspireerd door haar grondige kennis van Duitse filosofische tradities. Dimópulos' proza valt op door precieze taal en stilistische verfijning, waarmee ze complexe innerlijke werelden voor haar personages schept. Haar vermogen om intellectuele diepgang te combineren met boeiend vertellen maakt haar tot een onderscheidende stem in de hedendaagse literatuur.

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 Dimópulos's mesmerising novel reinforces her standing as one of the most expressive and inventive of contemporary Latin American writers.
