In this subtle and haunting psychological mystery, a woman's memories become a puzzle that reader and narrator must decipher.Review Quotes
"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
