Carmen Maria Machado on 'In the Dream House'




Paraphrase show

Summary: Carmen Maria Machado joins me to discuss her memoir 'In the Dream House.' 'In the Dream House' is Machado’s wildly innovative account of a relationship gone bad, and a bold dissection of the mechanisms and cultural representations of psychological abuse. Each chapter is driven by its own narrative trope―the haunted house, erotica, the bildungsroman―through which Machado holds past events up to the light.
