Her Body and Other Parties by Carmen Maria Machado

Her Body and Other Parties by Carmen Maria Machado

Machado's collection uses horror, science fiction and fairy tale structure to explore women's bodily autonomy, queer desire and trauma, including a reimagining of the folk tale about a woman with a ribbon around her neck that should never be untied.

One story is structured entirely as episode summaries of a fictional Law & Order: SVU spinoff, and the collection's formal daring throughout matches its thematic ambition, using genre conventions to make visible the specific violence and desire that shape women's embodied experience.

A National Book Award finalist, widely praised for its formal inventiveness.
