"In Eden Robins' eerie and poignant Remember You Will Die, we follow an AI woman, Peregrine, as she attempts to understand what happened to her human child. Did she die? Did she disappear? And what does it mean to die, to disappear? Peregrine learns what it means to grieve as she travels all of history via a cache of obituaries and etymologies, searching for clues about her child. By the end, I was gobsmacked, awed. Eden Robins has given us an instant classic." -- Lindsay Hunter, author of Hot Springs Drive

"A bold structure, wonderful errantry, and a unique imagination mark Eden Robins's new novel, Remember You Will Die--a compilation of obituaries whose impact is greater than the sum of its parts." -- Jeffrey Ford, author of The Shadow Year

"Eden Robins's Remember You Will Die transcends its ingenious obituary form. It becomes a murder mystery of portraits, a eulogy of the everyday moments that make up epic lives, a web of the important ways we intersect and influence one another beyond our knowing. It handles the morbid and the macabre with admirable compassion and humor. I loved every page." -- Jac Jemc, author of Empty Theatre and The Grip of It

"Kaleidoscopic...a fascinating and fresh reading experience." -- Chicago Reader

"An engrossing tale...Though no single life is told in full detail, the collective narrative that results, in Robins's ambitious project, is moving and grand." -- Esquire
