The collection is that hallowed thing: an example of almost preposterous talent that also encapsulates something vital but previously diffuse about the moment - no doubt why Machado has been longlisted for the National Book Award and named a finalist for the $50,000 Kirkus Prize for her debut. Their every experience is expressed through the body, in ways both natural and supernatural but always, on the deepest level, true. In Carmen Maria Machado’s debut short story collection, “Her Body and Other Parties,” women evaporate, are haunted after gastric surgery, literally lose their heads and chart an apocalyptic pandemic through their sexual encounters. Something is happening to women’s bodies.
