From the Bookshelf of belletrist…

[close] Our December #belletristbook is HERE! HER BODY AND OTHER PARTIES by Carmen Maria Machado is an otherworldly collection of short stories that examine what it means to live in the world as various women. The book is genre-bending but if we had to choose one, we’d call it speculative fiction. With stories ranging from a writers’ retreat gone wrong to the tale of a woman who becomes haunted by the weight she has lost, #HerBodyAndOtherParties is a deliciously disturbing and impactful book. We can’t wait to share all that we have in store with the author this month. And, as always, we want to see your copies of the book and where you’re reading. XX E+K aka Belletrist
