Thanks, Michelle. I've read that one too, strong stuff! In her memoir, she says her work was becoming increasingly fragmented and links it to the stress and breakdown of the narrative of her relationship, due to the shocks of abuse. An interesting filter to look back on that earlier work.
My favorite work of Machado’s is her short story collection: Her Body and Other Parties.

She also wrote an excellent review of the film Promising Young Woman in the Ne Yorker. I also found her memoir very powerful.
Nice. Thanks. I'll check that out.
