Her Body and Other Parties

Our Take
Machado writes women's bodies as horror sites and the horror is never supernatural — it is intimate, relational, social. The Green Ribbon story alone is worth the whole collection. These are fairy tales for the body that has been afraid of itself. They will not cure that fear. They will name it.
