On Thursday October 20th, the Sidney Harman Writer-in-Residence Program held a reading and conversation with best-selling and award winning author Carmen Maria Machado and invited us to interview her as part of that event.
This episode includes a brief background Machado, the author of In the Dream House, The Low, Low Woods, and Her Body and Other Stories along with numerous essays and short stories. Then we include an abridged version of the reading that Machado shared that evening called “The Tour.” This was recently published in McSweeney’s Magazine and will be included in Machado’s upcoming book project.
This is followed by our interview with Machado in which we discuss Machado’s writing style, the appeal of the horror genre, collaborating with others, and writing queerness into her works. After our interview, there was a brief Q&A with audience members which we will include in the episode as well.
Finally, at the end of the episode we wrap up with a couple of recommendations for other LGBTQIA+ Latinx books we think are worth checking out.
