Today I'm appreciating Carmen Maria Machado's short story collection Her Body and Other Parties and @Heliodora for reminding me to check it out! As the name suggests, the stories all have a common theme of women and how they relate to their bodies. It is one of my favorite genres of writing, the genre that pays no attention to genre boundaries at all. It includes one story written entirely as episode synopses of a TV show. https://www.graywolfpress.org/books/her-body-and-other-parties
What are you appreciating today?
@jernone I am reading this right now too and it is so wow.
I can't read more than a story every few days because they're so good and unsettling.
@susannah Same! I think it took me over a month to get through. Glad you are appreciating it too.
