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.

FUCKING FABULOUS
评分a bit overrated.
评分a bit overrated.
评分牛逼神作啊...既無比fasinating又總帶著種參悟不透的趕腳 導緻不讀這書的時候 心裏還總念著那些故事
评分文字很有靈氣，尤其the husband stitches, eight bites 和the resident，句子用詞很抓人，節奏氣氛也營造得得心應手。不過總覺得文字錶象下的立意處理得不夠成熟，後勁不足，讀完想說"蛤？？"描寫lesbian的部分讓我咋舌。especially heinous 實在沒看下去。最後兩篇裏的人物讓我懷疑可能是作者本人的性格投射。
