We thought we understood what this book is about, and then we really, really didn’t. There are apocalyptic viruses and sci-fi-esque body-altering surgeries; people turning invisible and reading minds. There’s even SVU fan fiction. Prepare to be shook as we get into this truly remarkable, genre-bending, heart-wrenching book of short stories by rising author Carmen Maria Machado.
