loujanae 's review for:
Her Body and Other Parties
by Carmen Maria Machado
dark
emotional
reflective
tense
fast-paced
This is so fucking fabulous. The first story starts with all I could have ever asked for, ever wanted. 'The Husband Stitch' is my favorite short story I've ever read. 'Inventory' was another stand out for me. Carmen Maria Machado plays with format and style phenomenally. It's my favorite part of short fiction. Playing with the way we tell a story. Stories about storytelling. Goddamn I loved this.
