Description
Carmen Maria Machado's debut collection is a genre-bending exploration of women's lives and the violence visited upon their bodies. With formally brilliant and emotionally charged tales, Machado demolishes the boundaries between psychological realism and science fiction, comedy and horror, fantasy and fabulism. In this electric and provocative debut, Machado maps the realities of women's experiences, from the mundane to the surreal. Her stories are earthy and otherworldly, antic and sexy, queer and caustic, and swing from horrific violence to the most exquisite sentiment. With its explosive originality, this collection enlarges the possibilities of contemporary fiction. With its unique blend of styles and themes, Her Body and Other Parties is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in innovative and unflinching fiction.
