Buch, das gelesen wurde, sich aber in einem guten Zustand befindet. Der Einband weist nur sehr geringfügige Beschädigungen auf, wie z.B. kleinere Schrammen, er hat aber weder Löcher, noch ist er eingerissen. Bei gebundenen Büchern ist der Schutzumschlag möglicherweise nicht mehr vorhanden. Die Bindung weist geringfügige Gebrauchsspuren auf. Die Mehrzahl der Seiten ist unbeschädigt, das heißt, es gibt kaum Knitter oder Einrisse, es wurden nur in geringem Maße Bleistiftunterstreichungen im Text vorgenommen, es gibt keine Textmarkierungen und die Randbereiche sind nicht beschrieben. Alle Seiten sind vollständig vorhanden. Genauere Einzelheiten sowie eine Beschreibung eventueller Mängel entnehmen Sie bitte dem Angebot des Verkäufers.

Reviews
"Imaginative, unsettling, haunting stories." -- BuzzFeed "She writes with a sincerity I didn't realize I was missing until I found it in these pages; it's rare to encounter an articulation of feminist themes that isn't self-conscious of them. . . . Machado's work, like her characters, is accessible and nuanced, textured without being overwrought." --Lauren Kane, The Paris Review Staff Picks "Machado's debut collection brings together eight stories that showcase her fluency in the bizarre, magical, and sharply frightening depths of the imagination. . . . The fierceness and abundance of sex and desire in these stories, the way emotion is inextricably connected with the concerns of the body, makes even the most outlandish imaginings strangely familiar. Machado writes with furious grace. She plays with form and expectation in ways that are both funny and elegant but never obscure. . . . An exceptional and pungently inventive first book." -- Kirkus Reviews , starred review "Machado creates eerie, inventive worlds shimmering with supernatural swerves in this engrossing debut collection. . . . Machado builds entire interior lives through sparse and minor details, turning even litanies of refrigerator contents and free-association on the coming of autumn into memorable meditations on identity and female disempowerment. . . . Machado's slightly slanted world echoes our own in ways that will entertain, challenge, and move readers." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review, "Carmen Maria Machado has managed to have readers, critics and everyone in-between sitting on the edge of their seats for the chance to read her debut story collection. . . . Part science fiction, part fantasy and all fun, Machado's stories deal with the sometimes unbelievable reality of being a woman in a way you won't see coming; in a way that is entirely her own." -- NBC Today Show "Imaginative, unsettling, haunting stories." -- BuzzFeed "She writes with a sincerity I didn't realize I was missing until I found it in these pages; it's rare to encounter an articulation of feminist themes that isn't self-conscious of them. . . .

Part science fiction, part fantasy and all fun, Machado's stories deal with the sometimes unbelievable reality of being a woman in a way you won't see coming; in a way that is entirely her own." -- NBC Today Show "Imaginative, unsettling, haunting stories." -- BuzzFeed "With supernatural flair, an engaging pop culture awareness . . . and an intimate, unrelenting style that grabs you by the throat and sinks its perfectly-polished nails in, Machado explores "femaleness" in a way that makes women who evaporate or telepathically hear the thoughts of porn stars feel eerily, impossibly, like long-lost friends." -- Harper's Bazaar "Between its covers, we find ourselves inside a gorgeously warped reflection of the world in which we actually live. It's recognizable as our own, but everything is a little more lurid, a little more queer, a little more violent, a little more magical than what we're used to." -- Nylon "She writes with a sincerity I didn't realize I was missing until I found it in these pages; it's rare to encounter an articulation of feminist themes that isn't self-conscious of them. . . . Machado's work, like her characters, is accessible and nuanced, textured without being overwrought." --Lauren Kane, The Paris Review Staff Picks "Machado melds folklore and fabulist images with the raw realities of love, sex, queerness and alienation, forging a poetic sensibility that's full and alive with possibilities in a way that narrower realism could never match. . . . Machado pulls everything together with bravura. . . . [ Her Body and Other Parties ] demonstrates that literature, when forthright and brave, can simultaneously dig deep within the self and reframe the greater world." -- Shelf Awareness "The world of Carmen Maria Machado is bright and bizarre, full of magic and haunted places." -- Hazlitt "The collection unpacks queerness, the female body, feminism, and the fantastic with a surrealism that will leave you aching." -- Philadelphia Weekly "Weird, sexy, funny and imaginative." -- PureWow "Machado's debut collection brings together eight stories that showcase her fluency in the bizarre, magical, and sharply frightening depths of the imagination. . . . The fierceness and abundance of sex and desire in these stories, the way emotion is inextricably connected with the concerns of the body, makes even the most outlandish imaginings strangely familiar.

Machado's slightly slanted world echoes our own in ways that will entertain, challenge, and move readers." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review "The writing is always lyrical, the narration refreshingly direct, and the sex abundant, and although the supernatural elements are not overt, every story is terrifying. These weird tales present a slightly askew version of the world as we know it and force us, no matter our gender, to reconsider our current life choices and relationships." -- Booklist , starred review, "Machado is the way forward." -Kevin Brockmeier"Those of us who knew have been waiting for a Carmen Maria Machado collection for years. Her stories show us what we really love and fear." -Alexander Chee"[Her] stories build and build until they surround and ensnare and at the end you're always glad to be all tangled up." - NPR, "Machado's debut collection brings together eight stories that showcase her fluency in the bizarre, magical, and sharply frightening depths of the imagination. . . .

Synopsis
Finalist for the National Book Award for Fiction "[These stories] vibrate with originality, queerness, sensuality and the strange."--Roxane Gay "In these formally brilliant and emotionally charged tales, Machado gives literal shape to women's memories and hunger and desire. I couldn't put it down."--Karen Russell In Her Body and Other Parties , Carmen Maria Machado blithely demolishes the arbitrary borders between psychological realism and science fiction, comedy and horror, fantasy and fabulism. While her work has earned her comparisons to Karen Russell and Kelly Link, she has a voice that is all her own. In this electric and provocative debut, Machado bends genre to shape startling narratives that map the realities of women's lives and the violence visited upon their bodies. A wife refuses her husband's entreaties to remove the green ribbon from around her neck. A woman recounts her sexual encounters as a plague slowly consumes humanity. A salesclerk in a mall makes a horrifying discovery within the seams of the store's prom dresses. One woman's surgery-induced weight loss results in an unwanted houseguest. And in the bravura novella "Especially Heinous," Machado reimagines every episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit , a show we naïvely assumed had shown it all, generating a phantasmagoric police procedural full of doppelgängers, ghosts, and girls with bells for eyes. Earthy and otherworldly, antic and sexy, queer and caustic, comic and deadly serious, Her Body and Other Parties swings from horrific violence to the most exquisite sentiment. In their explosive originality, these stories enlarge the possibilities of contemporary fiction., Finalist for the National Book Award for Fiction " These stories] vibrate with originality, queerness, sensuality and the strange."--Roxane Gay "In these formally brilliant and emotionally charged tales, Machado gives literal shape to women's memories and hunger and desire.

- a***i (10)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufGreat price given it was in like new condition, the shipping was resourceful and the communication with the seller was enough. The packaging would've been better if it were cardboard, as due to the many hands in the process, somehow damage (pages bent in slightly) occurred to the pages, but given it's a ten dollar book, it's not a big issue. I recommend this seller if you need books at a reasonable price.Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents: How to Heal from Distant, Reject (Nr. 286501639645)
- l***e (107)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufThis book is exceptional quality and appears as it did in the listing! Seller wrapped both books in brown paper to secure them in the mailer, so they would arrive in the condition stated. Extremely affordable books and free shipping made this a great deal. Shipped very fast as well! Highly recommend this seller!
- 0***1 (61)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufIt was shipped in a mailing bag. Not in a bubble mailer or a box, but a regular bag. And it arrived broken. The fragile rings of the 1977 cookbook, broke in transit. It was in good condition on Ebay, but did not arrive in good condition and did not arrive as described. Seller should have packaged it better, especially for the price.Tea Time at the Masters. A Collection of Recipes by Augusta, GA Junior League (Nr. 286273739918)
