📚 Over Booked Book Club - Her Body and Other Parties by Carmen Maria Machado 📚

The 20s & 30s is a perfect time to start up new activities and also try new books! Come join us at the new 20s & 30s book club at Geneva Library!

Short stories have a place of their own in fiction, but are so often overlooked. This month we will be looking at a collection of short stories that mix together many different themes into one crazy collection!

"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 naively assumed had shown it all, generating a phantasmagoric police procedural full of doppelgangers, ghosts, and girls with bells for eyes."
