Bookisshhh asked Carmen Maria Machado:

From your collection, “Her Body And Other Parties” which Story would you most likely develop first into a novel length work?

Carmen Maria Machado I don't think any of the stories in HBAOP are novel-length ideas! So probably none of them.

I LOVED "Her Body and Other Parties" - your way of finding the ordinary in the strange and the strange in the ordinary reminds me a lot of my favorite work from Sarah Ruhl and Kelly Link. What writers would you consider to be your influences?
