Imagining Argentina is an award-winning novel by American author Lawrence Thornton, about the Dirty War in 1970s Buenos Aires, Argentina, where the military government abducted those opposed to its rule. Cecilia, a dissident journalist, is kidnapped by the secret police to join the ranks of the "disappeared", as her husband Carlos, a theater director, searches frantically for her and others through "imagining" their fates in prisons and cells.
In 2003, the novel was adapted to film by British director Christopher Hampton.
