«Her Body and Other Sides» — is a collection of short fiction by American writer Carmen Maria Machado. A provocative and sophisticated debut that brilliantly breaks down the boundaries between magical realism and fantasy, humorous prose and horror.

Machado's prose reveals special secret sides of femininity and female maturity. The heroines of the stories are puzzled by the experience of growing up, partnerships, motherhood, and motherhood... The "ideal" wife who gives her husband all of herself, or a woman who decides to undergo stomach reduction surgery to finally like herself, or a debutant writer who goes to a creative residency where she returns to the stories of her childhood... These are emotional and frank stories of women's experience, centred on the themes of sexuality, objectification, tyranny of beauty canons, misogyny, physical and psychological violence.
