Her Body and Other Parties by Carmen Maria Machado
fast-paced

Shit read. There is so much more to womanhood than sex, body image issues and motherhood. The stories felt diminishing and reductive. Not to mention that the mystery of some of the stories was so mysterious that I didn’t understand the plot. Not all of the protagonists have to be confused!
I audible said oh thank God when I got to the acknowledgments. Will never reread or recommended.

This is in my top three best books I’ve ever read.
The first story is excellent and so well paced. I felt a genuine sadness when it ended.
The second story had some pacing issues, I felt that it was dragged out for longer than necessary. Also, I came to resent one of the character which made my reading unpleasant.
The third story is the best one out of the three. An absolute page turner till the very end.

Une bonne lecture, mais je ne suis pas en accord avec les propos de Despentes sur la pornographie. Elle omet de mentionner que la grande majorité de la porno est très violente et cela est toujours au détriment de la femme. Cette violence est néfaste pour le développement des jeunes. En effet, la porno est la première exposition au sexe pour plusieurs garçons et la violence qu’ils voient leurs fait croire que toute les femmes aiment se faire tabassées lors des rapports sexuels, ce n’est pas une mentalité santé.
