Reviews
" Mariam Rahmani's debut novel is both charmingly familiar and totally unpredictable, [with] the crispy edges of the most satisfying rom-com... Rahmani is in many ways reinventing the Iranian American novel, subtly yet substantially. In books such as Kaveh Akbar's Martyr! and Sanam Mahloudji's The Persions --and even most of my own--Iran is a symbol of all that has been lost once one leaves the country behind. But in Rahmani's novel, the country is an actual setting for flesh-and-blood characters rather than a silent specter. Rahmani's universe is never quiet; everything is spoken, often exhaustively and exhaustingly, in writing so electrically alive that the reader feels fully immersed in her world."-- Porochista Khakpour , The Atlantic, "Playful, sexy and oppressively sunny. Mariam Rahmani has written a very L.A. novel... She is sharp, clear-eyed and always so fashionable. Mariam brings all that style, wit and brilliance to Liquid: A Love Story , a novel [driven] by a narrative voice that is at turns sardonic, hilarious and yearning. The premise -- marry rich or die trying -- is handled so intelligently and schematically... The structural bifurcation of the novel is a bold choice, and all the more rewarding for its boldness... Liquid is a book troubling the fault lines."-- Justin Torres , Los Angeles Times / Image Magazine, "In Liquid , cynical humor pairs with personal turmoil to make for a head-spinning ride through dating apps, academia, and the contours of Iranian American identity."-- Foreign Policy, Praise for Liquid, A Love Story : "Pleasures of nearly every variety abound in Mariam Rahmani's astonishing Liquid , a novel whose force seeps into the bloodstream, dilating thinking on desire and ambition, of the relations that entangle and unmake us, alongside the traces of unknowability that sustain. Pages erupt with blazing intelligence, pathos, and stringent wit. How rare it is to encounter this marriage of social acuity with a poet's staggering feel for the capacity of language, its lush contours and bite. Traversing the streets of LA and Tehran with Rahmani at the wheel awakens sensations and appetites for which one has no name. Liquid is a potent, shimmering revelation, and Rahmani is a writer you proselytize for."-- Jenny Xie, author of the National Book Award Finalists The Rupture Tense and Eye Level, Named a Most Anticipated Book of the Season/Year by Oprah Daily , Literary Hub , Electric Literature, Book Riot , LGBTQ Reads , and the Orange County Register, Named a Most Anticipated/Recommended Book of the Season by Oprah Daily , Vanity Fair , Literary Hub , WBUR, Electric Literature, Book Riot , LGBTQ Reads , RAWI, San Francisco Bay Times , Columbia Magazine , and more. A Book of the Month Selection for March. A Goodreads Editor's Pick for March., "A wry, mercurial book about the horrors of being 'on the market,' both in romance and in academe... Profound, unanswerable questions -- about the academy's relentless mistreatment of its workers, the mortifications of compulsory heterosexuality and the emotional inheritances we receive from our parents -- glitter at the edges of certain passages like shards of glass."-- New York Times Book Review, Praise for Mariam Rahmani's translation of In Case of Emergency by Masha Mohebali: " Sheekasteh is the Farsi expression for the kind of visceral, idiomatic slang that characterizes this book's prose--nimbly translated here by the scholar Mariam Rahmani--but the word literally means 'broken.' The novel's most compelling transgression may be linguistic, the tectonic shift it represents in Iranian letters." -- Negar Azimi, New York Times, "Provocative, intelligent and bold, Liquid is a novel that lingers. Rahmani's ability to access humor at the perfect moment, and her keen understanding of the power and perils of vulnerability make her the best kind of observer--an honest one."-- Angela Flournoy, author of The Turner House, "Mariam Rahmani's startling new translation of Mahsa Mohebali's In Case of Emergency practically vibrates in the hand... Rahmani's translation is brilliant--her language throughout dazzles and sears... Turns out I'd been waiting for [this book] my entire life."-- Kaveh Akbar, New York Times Bestselling author of Martyr!, "A brilliant and jarring portrait of contemporary Iran, rife with unrest, drugs, and destruction."-- Publishers Weekly, Praise for Liquid, A Love Story : "Hirsute, heuristic, and humorous, Liquid is an electric read. From Los Angeles to Tehran, past to present, academia to the bedsheets, Rahmani navigates these journeys with undeniable verve, serious street-smarts, and a glowing charismatic cool. The smoothest, smartest book I've read in quite some time and the dawning of a literary force."-- Paul Beatty, Booker Prize-winning author of The Sellout, "A macabre urban carnival of a novel. In Mariam Rahmani's inspired, electric translation, Mahsa Mohebali's portrait of the unmoored offspring of Tehran's educated elite jolts the reader, offering a rare visceral glimpse into contemporary Iran."-- Natasha Wimmer, translator of Roberto Bolaño's The Savage Detectives, "Utterly shattering--I could hardly catch my breath... At turns hilarious and deeply unnerving, here is contemporary Tehran as never glimpsed before. Mariam Rahmani's pitch-perfect translation is intoxicatingly energetic, capturing all the poetry and pathos of disintegration. Read this now."-- Justin Torres, National Book Award-winning author of Blackouts, "Liquid is sleek, gimlet-eyed, stylish and doubtless smarter than the average reader -- myself. But it is ever prescient and often very witty about the fate of love among thirty-somethings -- indeed, among us all -- as we enter the brave new world ahead." -- Richard Ford

Synopsis
The Marriage Plot meets The Idiot in this brilliant debut, which tells the story of a young Muslim scholar stuck in the mire of adjunct professorship in Los Angeles who decides to give up her career in academia and marry rich, committing herself to 100 dates in the course of a single summer. By midsummer reality hits, taking her--and her project--to Tehran. The unnamed Iranian-Indian American narrator of Liquid has always believed herself to be the smartest person in the room. And from an early age, she and her best friend--a poet-turned-marketer named Adam--have turned their noses up at other peoples' riches. But two years after earning a PhD from UCLA, the narrator is no closer to the middle-class comfort promised to her by the prestige of her fancy, scholarship-funded education and the successes of her immigrant parents. Jokingly, Adam suggests she just "marry rich." But our protagonist, whose PhD thesis compared Eastern and Western views of marriage in film and literature, takes the idea seriously. She makes a spreadsheet and outlines a goal: 100 dates with people of all genders and a marriage proposal in hand by the official start of the fall semester. What follows is a whirlwind summer packed with dating: martinis sans vermouth with the lazy scion of an Eastside construction empire; board games with a butch producer who owns a house in the hills and a newly dented Porsche; a Venmo request from a "socialist" trust fund babe; and an evening spent dodging the halitosis of a maxillofacial surgeon from Orange County. Only a tragedy in Tehran and an overdue familial reckoning can alter the narrator's increasingly manic trajectory and force her to confront the contradictions of her life in Los Angeles. And as doubts begin to creep in about her marriage project, it suddenly seems possible that the eligible prospect she's been looking for has been beneath her nose the entire time. For fans of Kaveh Akbar and Elif Batuman, Liquid delivers a modern tale of romance, loss, and belonging like no other. Mariam Rahmani's gorgeous high-wire satire explodes off the page with verve and originality in this riveting spin on the classic romantic comedy.
