In this exquisite story of family, food, grief, and endurance, Michelle Zauner proves herself far more than a dazzling singer, songwriter, and guitarist. With humor and heart, she tells of growing up one of the few Asian-American kids at her school in Eugene, Oregon; of struggling with her mother's particular high expectations of her; of a painful adolescence; of treasured months spent in her grandmother's tiny apartment in Seoul, where she and her mother would bond, late at night, over heaping plates of food.

Poet Ocean Vuong’s debut novel is a shattering portrait of a family, a first love, and the redemptive power of storytelling. On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous is a letter from a son to a mother who cannot read. Written when the speaker, Little Dog, is in his late 20s, the letter unearths a family’s history that began before he was born - a history whose epicenter is rooted in Vietnam - and serves as a doorway into parts of his life his mother has never known, all of it leading to an unforgettable revelation.

In the first scene of this provocative gut-punch of a novel, our unnamed narrator meets a magnetic writer named Ciaran and falls, against her better judgment, completely in his power. After a brief, all-consuming romance, he abruptly rejects her, sending her into a tailspin of jealous obsession and longing. If he ever comes back to her, she resolves to hang onto him and his love at all costs, even if it destroys her.

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.

Little Marek, the abused and delusional son of the village shepherd, believes his mother died giving birth to him. One of Marek’s few consolations is his enduring bond with the blind village midwife, Ina, who suckled him when he was a baby. For some people, Ina’s ability to receive transmissions of sacred knowledge from the natural world is a godsend. For others, Ina’s home in the woods is a godless place.

Description
In the Dream House is Carmen Maria Machado's engrossing and 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 with a charismatic but volatile woman, Machado struggles to make sense of how what happened to her shaped the person she was becoming.
And it's that struggle that 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 up to the light and examines them from different angles. She looks back at her religious adolescence, unpacks the stereotype of lesbian relationships as safe and utopian, and widens the view with essayistic explorations of the history and reality of abuse in queer relationships.
Machado's dire narrative is leavened with her characteristic wit, playfulness, and openness to inquiry. She casts a critical eye over legal proceedings, fairy tales, Star Trek, and Disney villains, as well as iconic works of film and fiction. The result is a wrenching, riveting book that explodes our ideas about what a memoir can do and be.

This was totally different than anything I’ve ever read and I was so excited for that. It was soothing, heartbreaking, melancholy.

Liked the writing
Great way to tell a story, I liked it.
I’m not surprised to hear there is domestic abuse in same sex relationships, but saddened by it nonetheless. And glad there is a book like this to give validation to those needing it. Glad she got out. A good listen.

Stunning to listen to
I love this audiobook.
When I first started to listen to it I wondered how it was written in these brief chapters and how it would come together. After awhile I saw the brilliance in that.
It brought some knowledge that should be apparent to me but somehow you think in gay relationship there’s nothing but sheer bliss. I have a gay nephew who lives with his man and hear that they fight a lot. I thought to myself “how cute “ and just figure it must be nothing serious. Why would I assume that.
So this listen opened up my eyes and I realize things can go wrong in any relationship.
I love Carmens voice. She tells the story with such grace and such a melodious voice that I wish to listen to it always.
Definitely a book I would love to read as well just to absorb the full story.

Beautiful and devastating
Carmen Maria Machado reading her memoir of domestic abuse was spellbinding. Many stories within a story, woven seamlessly with moments of film, history, and research. Heart-thumping narrative, balanced by soothing self reflection.

Interesting and educational
It was written in such a unique way and in the beginning I wasn’t sure I would love it. As I continued on it was very captivating. You could tell this was full of true emotions. It truly showed how abuse evolved in a lesbian relationship. It was a beautiful, devastating and educational book.

In the Dream House
My God, this was a gift to listen to.
Machado uses the many chapters, titled as genres, signifying both the fracturing nature of the abuse and the need to make sense of things by categorizing them.
With a lilting, rhythmical voice she conveys her story. With sharp, precise words, she breaks apart so many assumptions society has: metaphors, cliches, caricatures that shape our understanding of relationships, abuse and queerness. With lovingly crafted imagery, she unlocks the chests of our biases, revealing how much absolute nonsense we've left unexamined.
Her voice is so vulnerable the entire time and in its softness articulates so many indignities, pain, fear and grief. Listening to the audiobook felt like she'd slipped into my own body and gently pressed all the inexpressable places we both hurt. And through it, her ability to describe things with a poet's brush just made me ache for and admire the enduring beauty of her character.
