A review by lunarflare
Her Body and Other Parties by Carmen Maria Machado

4.0

(3.5) reread this recently and forgot to comment on it. so many of these stories are dragged out to the point of obfuscation and its central statements fall apart under the weight of overly ornamental writing. machado outlines strong ideas in each entry but refuses to take them in any meaningful direction. especially heinous is still a dear novella to me, but i found it so hard to get through the entire collection this time around.
