Paula Parisot's first book, A dama da solidão (2007), was a finalist in the short fiction category for the Jabuti Award, Brazil's most prestigious literary award. Her second novel, Gonzos e parafusoswas (2010) inspired a performance that lasted for seven consecutive days in which Parisot confined herself to a room 3 meters by 4 meters, which was a reproduction of the sanatorium at the end of the novel. Parisot's third book, Partir (2013), includes original drawings by Parisot and led to a series of new performances in Guadalajara, Rio de Janeiro, and São Paulo. In 2015, Parisot was featured in the Brazil imprint of Harper's Bazaar.[3][4][5]

The first translation of Parisot's work into English will be published by Dalkey Archive Press in 2016, under the title Lady of Solitude.[6] This is the book that took her to the finals of the Jabuti Award in 2007.[1]
