Talking Scared[From the Vault] Carmen Maria Machado & Passing Literary Kidney StonesIt’s all about memory this week.
Remember that time literary superstar Carmen Maria Machado came on the show? No? Well here’s your chance to catch up on what you missed.

Es klingt geradezu unversöhnlich, aber dieses Buch, das man nicht wirklich einen Roman nennen kann, ist wunderschön – und das, obwohl es die biografische Aufarbeitung einer toxischen Beziehung ist. Was nicht bedeutet, dass Carmen Maria Machado diese in irgendeiner Form beschönigt.
Aber der Reihe nach: Carmem Maria Machado umkreist in „Das Archiv der Träume“ (im Tropen Verlag erschienen) in Texten, die selten länger als ein bis zwei Seiten sind, ihre langjährige, toxische Beziehung zu einer Frau, die psychologische und körperliche Gewalt gegen Machado ausübt.

Between The Covers : Conversations with Writers in Fiction, Nonfiction & PoetryCarmen Maria Machado : In the Dream House“In the Dream House . . . confronts the issues of credibility, self-doubt, and disbelief that all too frequently arise when survivors of domestic abuse speak out. But the work also stands as an intervention explicitly aimed at the silences, erasures, and lacunae of the culture at large . . . Machado’s In the Dream House shows us that a narrative of lesbian domestic abuse can be her story told in precisely her way—a human story, full of artistry, candor, and grace.” —James W. Fuerst

ParaphraseCarmen Maria Machado on 'In the Dream House'Carmen Maria Machado joins me to discuss her memoir 'In the Dream House.' 'In the Dream House' is Machado’s 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, Machado struggles to make sense of how what happened to her shaped the person she was becoming. That struggle 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...

Read Like a Writer7 - Carmen Maria MachadoCarmen Maria Machado's genre-bending short story collection, Her Body and Other Parties, has met with widespread acclaim. Shortlisted for the American National Book Award and the International Dylan Thomas Prize, it demolishes the borders between magical realism and science fiction, comedy and horror, fantasy and fabulism.

It is a dark, shimmering slice of fiction, that reminded reviewers of Angela Carter.We caught up with Carmen in the summer of 2018 in Edinburgh, where she...
