[Italian] - Nella casa dei tuoi sogni
"Carmen Maria Machado racconta lo smarrimento e la solitudine di trovarsi in una relazione segnata dall’abuso psicologico, e allo stesso tempo ci consegna, oltre a una toccante autobiografia, una profonda riflessione sulla scrittura e sulla natura stessa del memoir. Per analizzare il suo rapporto con una donna bella e carismatica, ma anche instabile e violenta, e capire come quello che le è successo l’abbia plasmata nella persona che è ora, Machado attinge a piene mani da numerosi generi letterari e dalla cultura pop. Capitolo dopo capitolo siamo trasportati dalla casa stregata al bildungsroman, dal noir alla novella picaresca, da Čechov alle fiabe, da Star Trek ai cattivi della Disney, in un tour de force sul trauma e sulla sua elaborazione che smantella lo stereotipo dell’idilliaca relazione tra donne. Al centro di tutto la casa dei sogni, il simbolo di ciò che poteva essere e non è stato."
Carmen Maria Machado (Author), Valeria Perdonò (Narrator)

March Sisters: On Life, Death, and Little Women
"For the 150th anniversary of the publication of Louisa May Alcott's Little Women, Kate Bolick, Jenny Zhang, Carmen Maria Machado, and Jane Smiley explore their strong lifelong personal engagement with Alcott's novel—what it has meant to them and why it still matters. Each takes as her subject one of the four March sisters, reflecting on their stories and what they have to teach us about life. Kate Bolick finds parallels in oldest sister Meg's brush with glamour at the Moffats' ball and her own complicated relationship with clothes. Jenny Zhang confesses to liking Jo least among the sisters when she first read the novel as a girl, uncomfortable in finding so much of herself in a character she feared was too unfeminine. Carmen Maria Machado writes about the real-life tragedy of Lizzie Alcott, the inspiration for third sister Beth, and the horror story that can result from not being the author of your own life's narrative. And Jane Smiley rehabilitates the reputation of youngest sister Amy, whom she sees as a modern feminist role model for those of us who are, well, not like the fiery Jo. These four voices come together to form a deep, funny, far-ranging meditation on the power of great literature to shape our lives."

Audiobook
[Italian] - Il suo corpo e altre feste
"Una donna chiusa in un capanno elenca i suoi amanti (e le sue amanti) mentre fuori un virus scatena l’apocalisse. Un’altra, che ha subito una violenza, si accorge di poter sentire i pensieri degli attori porno. E poi c’è un misterioso nastro verde, che non si può toccare; e ancora una curiosa riscrittura delle prime 12 stagioni di Law & Order. Acclamato come uno dei più attesi e dirompenti esordi letterari degli ultimi anni, definito «un Black Mirror femminista», Il suo corpo e altre feste esplora l’universo femminile queer superando i confini di genere."
Carmen Maria Machado (Author), Valeria Perdonò (Narrator)
