Tameca asked Carmen Maria Machado:

Your book is blowing my mind. Thank you for writing it. Hopefully I won't miss you [if/when] next time you come through Denver (!). ...and Goodeads requires me to post a question mark here, so here goes: --> ?

Carmen Maria Machado Thank you so much!

I LOVED "Her Body and Other Parties" - your way of finding the ordinary in the strange and the strange in the ordinary reminds me a lot of my favorite work from Sarah Ruhl and Kelly Link. What writers would you consider to be your influences?
