'A masterpiece. Proceed with caution' Phoebe Bridgers
In the Dream House is Carmen Maria Machado's engrossing and wildly innovative account of a relationship gone bad. Tracing the full arc of a harrowing experience with a charismatic but volatile woman, this is a bold dissection of the mechanisms and cultural representations of psychological abuse.
Each chapter views the relationship through a different lens, as Machado holds events up to the light and examines them from distinct angles. She casts a critical eye over legal proceedings, fairy tales, Star Trek and Disney villains, as well as iconic works of film and fiction, infusing all with her characteristic wit, playfulness and openness to enquiry. The result is a powerful book that explodes our ideas about what a memoir can do and be.
Rezensionen
Carmen Maria Machado lets loose the full force of her gothic imagination to recount her real-life entanglement in an addictive but psychologically abusive same-sex relationship, and in language so sensual the violence comes as a shock ... sublime
Absolutely remarkable ... What makes this book truly exceptional is how Machado creates an archive where, shamefully, there is none
An unflinching, engrossing memoir.
Machado'
A raw, innovative memoir.
A towering achievement from a truly outstanding writer.
Provocative and rich ... the cycle of abuse is a kind of poisonous enchantment in which victims can be enthralled. Ms Machado'
Breathtakingly inventive. . . . Machado'
A stunning book, both deeply felt and elegantly written.

A masterpiece. Proceed with caution.
Merge the house and the woman-watch the woman experience her own body as a haunted house, a place of sudden, inexplicable terrors-and you are reading the blazingly talented Carmen Maria Machado.
The way [ <i>In the Dream House</i>] seamlessly weaves the facts of [Machado's] life with fictions-the ghosts that still haunt her, the fact that even time travel could not undo what's been done-is a masterstroke. Machado's that writer who can convincingly code-switch between sci-fi nerdery and lyrical realism. She'
A groundbreaking memoir in terms of both form and content. . . . Get ready for Machado to take you on several breakneck cross-country trips of the soul.
A tender, incandescent memoir like no other. There'
Piercing. . . . <i>In the Dream House </i> makes for uneasy but powerful reading.
Realistic, poetic, and sometimes grimly funny ... A hard-hitting and layered book that reminds us we need to continue addressing abuse with queer women'
Innovative and haunting, compelling and jarring, Machado has created what is essentially a new form of memoir ... excruciatingly honest and yet vibrantly creative.
Forget everything you think you know about memoir when reading Carmen Maria Machado'
Astonishing ... Machado writes with such precision and poetry it'
Carmen Maria Machado has re-imagined the memoir genre, creating a work of art both breathtakingly inventive and urgently true. <i>In the Dream House</i> is crucial queer testimony. I'
This is challenging and thrilling. There is never one reading. Memoir here is resurrection, rebirth and archive. <i>In the Dream House</i> is a dark jewel reflecting something startling - familiar and strange. -
This book is devastating. Machado is a sublime, phenomenal, breathtakingly good writer and a new work by her is a momentous occasion.
