[From the Vault] Carmen Maria Machado & Passing Literary Kidney Stones
Description
It’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.
Carmen spoke to me about Her Body and Other Parties and In the Dream House – the former a collection of folktale and fable, spun to hideous effect; the latter a piercing fictionalised memoir of abuse and haunted relationships.
This was a daunting interview – we went deep into life, love and all the horrors they can bring. But we came up smiling.
It’s a happy memory.
Enjoy.
