In Her Body and Other Parties, Carmen Maria Machado blithely demolishes the arbitrary borders between psychological realism and science fiction, comedy and horror, fantasy and fabulism. While her work has earned her comparisons to Karen Russell and Kelly Link, she has a voice that is all her own. In this electric and provocative debut, Machado bends genre to shape startling narratives that map the realities of women’s lives and the violence visited upon their bodies.
A wife refuses her husband’s entreaties to remove the green ribbon from around her neck. A woman recounts her sexual encounters as a plague slowly consumes humanity. A salesclerk in a mall makes a horrifying discovery within the seams of the store’s prom dresses. One woman’s surgery-induced weight loss results in an unwanted houseguest. And in the bravura novella “Especially Heinous,” Machado reimagines every episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, a show we naïvely assumed had shown it all, generating a phantasmagoric police procedural full of doppelgängers, ghosts, and girls with bells for eyes.
Earthy and otherworldly, antic and sexy, queer and caustic, comic and deadly serious, Her Body and Other Parties swings from horrific violence to the most exquisite sentiment. In their explosive originality, these stories enlarge the possibilities of contemporary fiction.

7.2.19-20.2.19 这都是什么鬼东西！好好说故事不行吗？为什么总是东一句西一句的，每个故事都读着读着就不知道作者在说什么。The Husband Stitch这个故事根本就是都市传说啊，网上2015年就有人发表过！忘记在哪里看到这本书的推荐而买来读了，彻头彻尾的失望。
评分eight bites让人想起Ferrante的troubling love/the husband stitch很灵
评分我是真的很不喜欢这种风格的短篇
评分BEING POOR WILL KILL YOU!
评分关于female body的八个故事。喜欢mothers, eight bites, the resident！inventory也不错。Especially heinous 没读下去对不住。花样挺多，整体还是很好读！喜欢这种细微敏感到有些madwoman的环境描写带来的心理体验，氛围好过故事性。
