Reading & Resource Series: Her Body and Other Parties: Digital & Multimedia Resources

In Spring 2024, University Libraries invites students, faculty and staff to read and discuss this work by Carmen Maria Machado.

Description

Scholar Mary Angeline Hood suggests there's a queerness to the short stories within Her Body and Other Parties that extends beyond sexuality and desire of the characters to encompass the forms of the stories themselves.  Machado's collection is heralded for the expert ways it blends genres.

University of Louisville Libraries offers a variety of multi-modal and multi-media resources to foster and support creativity personally, academically, and professionally.
