Imagine Me Gone is a 2016 novel by American author and novelist Adam Haslett. It concerns a couple, Margaret and John, who marry despite John's crippling depression, and is narrated by the couple and their three children.[1] The novel was short-listed for the National Book Award, the Kirkus Prize, and the 2017 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.[2][3]

Reception

The novel received positive reviews.[4] Critics particularly focused on the quality of Haslett's prose.[1][5] Lara Feigel, writing for The Guardian called his writing "finely adapted for each of the characters".[5] NPR's Heller McAlpin noted how, "Haslett's signature achievement in Imagine Me Gone is to temper the harrowing with the humorous while keeping a steady bead on the pathos."[1]
