Description
“Her Body and Other Parties, by Carmen Maria Machado, is a love letter to an obstinate genre
that wonâ€t be gentrified. Itâ€s a wild thing, this book, covered in sequins and scales, blazing
with the influence of fabulists from Angela Carter to Kelly Link and Helen Oyeyemi, and borrowing
from science fiction, queer theory and horror. . . . Not since Karen Russellâ€s St. Lucyâ€s
Home for Girls Raised by Wolves, in 2006, has a debut collection of short stories from a relatively
unknown author garnered such attention, or deserved it more.――Parul Sehgal, The New York
Times“Carmen Maria Machado has managed to have readers, critics and everyone inbetween
sitting on the edge of their seats for the chance to read her debut story collection. . . .
Part science fiction, part fantasy and all fun, Machadoâ€s stories deal with the sometimes
unbelievable reality of being a woman in a way you wonâ€t see coming; in a way that is entirely
her own.――NBC 'Today Show'“[Machadoâ€s] use of a vivid experimental lens to show
women struggling for agency is startling.――The New Yorker“An abrupt, original, and wild
collection of stories, full of outlandish myths that somehow catch at familiar, unspoken truths about
being women in the world that more straightforward or realist writing wouldnâ€t.――NPR.org
“[Her Body and Other Parties] is that hallowed thing: an example of almost preposterous talent
that also encapsulates something vital but previously diffuse about the moment. . . . Machado is a
master of such pointed formal play, of queering genre and the supposed laws of reality to present
alternative possibilities. . . . Machado reveals just how original, subversive, proud and joyful it can
be to write from deep in the gut, even―especially―if the gut has been bruised.――Los
Angeles Times“[Her Body and Other Parties is] written in prose so textured that you want to
rub her phrases between your fingertips. . . . A muscular strain of feminism runs through this book,
whose contemplation of the female body is bound up in sex, power, pleasure, pain, and the fitful
struggle against self-loathing. Rarely is a writer as skilled as Machado at evoking corporeality: the
myriad sensations of inhabiting flesh and bone, with all its messiness and ecstasies. . . .
[Machado] blend[s] disparate, jostling elements to achieve a ferocious alchemy.――The Boston
Globe“The book abounds with fantastical premises that ring true because the intensity of
sexual desire, the mutability of the body, and the realities of gender inequality make them so. . . .
These stories stand as exquisitely rendered, poignant hauntings.――San Francisco Chronicle
“Cross-pollenating fairy tales, horror movies, TV shows, and a terrific sense of humor,
[Machadoâ€s] work reminds me at different times of such wildly divergent figures as David
Lynch, Jane Campion, Maggie Nelson, and Grace Paley; which is a way of saying, Machado
sounds like nobody but herself. . . . [An] imaginative and enjoyable collection, which charts dark

territory with enormousstyle, wit, and storytelling panache.――John Powers, NPR “Fresh
Air―“Her Body and Other Parties is an astonishing debut, dark and glittering, like a night, or a
knife. The stories in this book unroll like millipedes, smooth shells of lyric giving way to sharp joints
and flailing, alien limbs.――Bookforum“Machadoâ€s stories . . . have reverberated among
readers with the prophetic force of a soothsayerâ€s divinations.――Vulture“Imaginative,
unsettling, haunting stories.――BuzzFeed“With supernatural flair, an engaging pop culture
awareness . . . and an intimate, unrelenting style that grabs you by the throat and sinks its
perfectly-polished nails in, Machado explores 'femaleness' in a way that makes women who
evaporate or telepathically hear the thoughts of porn stars feel eerily, impossibly, like long-lost
friends.――Harperâ€s Bazaar“In her twistedly original and thrilling debut short story
collection, Her Body and Other Parties, Carmen Maria Machado blends both the terrifying and the
horrible into a psychologically realistic and darkly comic mixture. . . . Simultaneously hot and
chilling, these stories leave the reader enthralled and shaken.――Chicago Tribune“Thrilling
and page-turning, smart and fearless, and very likely the best book of the year.――Jezebel
“Machado brushes past taboo to treat womenâ€s sexuality with frankness and lyricism. . . .
These daring stories are deeply feminist, but never dogmatically so, slipping into the murky places
where we begin to fear our desires and desire what we fear.――Slate“Between its covers,
we find ourselves inside a gorgeously warped reflection of the world in which we actually live.
Itâ€s recognizable as our own, but everything is a little more lurid, a little more queer, a little
more violent, a little more
