Book Description
 
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
naively assumed had shown it all, generating a phantasmagoric police procedural full of
doppelgangers, 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.The husband stitch --Inventory --Mothers --Especially heinous --Real
