Her Body and Other Parties
Author: Carmen Maria Machado
Publisher: Graywolf Press
ISBN: 1555979807
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 229
Book Description
Finalist for the National Book Award for Fiction “[These stories] vibrate with originality, queerness, sensuality and the strange.”—Roxane Gay “In these formally brilliant and emotionally charged tales, Machado gives literal shape to women’s memories and hunger and desire. I couldn’t put it down.”—Karen Russell 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 naïvely assumed had shown it all, generating a phantasmagoric police procedural full of doppelgängers, 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.

In the Dream House
Author: Carmen Maria Machado
Publisher: Graywolf Press
ISBN: 1644451026
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
A revolutionary memoir about domestic abuse by the award-winning author of Her Body and Other Parties In the Dream House is Carmen Maria Machado’s engrossing and wildly innovative account of a relationship gone bad, and a bold dissection of the mechanisms and cultural representations of psychological abuse. Tracing the full arc of a harrowing relationship with a charismatic but volatile woman, Machado struggles to make sense of how what happened to her shaped the person she was becoming. And it’s that struggle that gives the book its original structure: each chapter is driven by its own narrative trope—the haunted house, erotica, the bildungsroman—through which Machado holds the events up to the light and examines them from different angles. She looks back at her religious adolescence, unpacks the stereotype of lesbian relationships as safe and utopian, and widens the view with essayistic explorations of the history and reality of abuse in queer relationships. Machado’s dire narrative is leavened with her characteristic wit, playfulness, and openness to inquiry. She casts a critical eye over legal proceedings, fairy tales, Star Trek, and Disney villains, as well as iconic works of film and fiction. The result is a wrenching, riveting book that explodes our ideas about what a memoir can do and be.

Every Body Talk
Author: Matthew Mittleman
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780578911366
Category :
Languages : en
Pages :
Book Description
This book includes language and lessons about protective factors for children to learn early to support sexual violence prevention. This book serves as a tool for caregivers and children to learn, question and discuss situations that may arise regarding boundaries and healthy ways to learn important skills in life. Research indicates that knowing the accurate terminology of private parts may make children less vulnerable to sexual abuse. It may help in a doctor's office when sharing medical issues. It may also help solve a crime and even prevent future abuse. Children who are a part of marginalized identity groups such as Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian and Pacific Islander, LGBTQ+ and children with disabilities, have higher rates of sexual violence and are even less likely to report their abuse. As adults, we must change the way we talk about body parts with even our youngest kids. And that is where this book comes in. This is as much for parents, guardians, and teachers as it is for children; it is here to help normalize all body parts, to open the conversation about respecting our bodies, and help tell children what to do if they are uncomfortable. We hope you enjoy this book from your head to your toes, and encourage the conversations that may come up with your little ones.
