Requests:  1 Summary:  Contains short stories about the realities of women's lives and the violence visited upon their bodies. "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."--Publisher's description.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status Due Date   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Fiction Machado   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hanapepe Public Library Adult Fiction Machado Short Stories Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Fiction Machado   Checked out 06/20/2024 Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Adult Fiction Machado   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Machado 2017 Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Fiction Machado   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Fiction Machado   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Fiction Machado   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Fiction Machado   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction MACHADO   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
