Chacune prend pour sujet l'une des quatre sœurs March, réfléchissant à leurs histoires et à ce qu'elles peuvent nous enseigner sur la vie. Kate Bolick trouve des parallèles entre l'aperçu du glamour de Meg, la sœur aînée, lors du bal des Moffat et sa propre relation compliquée avec les vêtements. Jenny Zhang avoue avoir le moins aimé Jo parmi les sœurs lorsqu'elle a lu le roman pour la première fois étant enfant, mal à l'aise de retrouver autant d'elle-même dans un personnage qu'elle craignait être trop peu féminin. Carmen Maria Machado écrit sur la tragédie réelle de Lizzie Alcott, l'inspiration de Beth, la troisième sœur, et l'histoire d'horreur qui peut résulter de ne pas être l'auteur de son propre récit de vie. Et Jane Smiley réhabilite la réputation de la sœur cadette Amy, qu'elle considère comme un modèle féministe moderne pour celles d'entre nous qui ne sont pas, eh bien, comme la fougueuse Jo. Ces quatre voix s'unissent pour former une méditation profonde, drôle et vaste sur le pouvoir de la grande littérature à façonner nos vies.","brand":"Library of America","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42817947959376,"sku":"9781598536287B","price":10.49,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8173\/5760\/files\/9781598536287-l.jpg?v=1785867028"},{"product_id":"her-body-and-other-parties-9781555977887b","title":"Her Body and Other Parties","description":"In Her Body and Other Parties, Carmen Maria Machado blithely demolishes the arbitrary borders between psychological realism and science fiction, comedy and horror, fantasy and fabulism. While her work has earned her comparisons to Karen Russell and Kelly Link, she has a voice that is all her own. In this electric and provocative debut, Machado bends genre to shape startling narratives that map the realities of women’s lives and the violence visited upon their bodies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA wife refuses her husband’s entreaties to remove the green ribbon from around her neck. A woman recounts her sexual encounters as a plague slowly consumes humanity. A salesclerk in a mall makes a horrifying discovery within the seams of the store’s prom dresses. One woman’s surgery-induced weight loss results in an unwanted houseguest. And in the bravura novella “Especially Heinous,” Machado reimagines every episode of Law \u0026amp; Order: Special Victims Unit, a show we naïvely assumed had shown it all, generating a phantasmagoric police procedural full of doppelgängers, ghosts, and girls with bells for eyes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEarthy and otherworldly, antic and sexy, queer and caustic, comic and deadly serious, Her Body and Other Parties swings from horrific violence to the most exquisite sentiment. In their explosive originality, these stories enlarge the possibilities of contemporary fiction.","brand":"Graywolf Press","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42821293473872,"sku":"9781555977887B","price":9.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8173\/5760\/files\/9781555977887-l.jpg?v=1785883109"},{"product_id":"in-the-dream-house-9781788162258b","title":"In the Dream House","description":"Overview not currently available","brand":"Serpent's Tail","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42823283212368,"sku":"9781788162258B","price":6.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8173\/5760\/files\/9781788162258-l.jpg?v=1785891604"},{"product_id":"her-body-other-parties-9781781259535b","title":"Her Body \u0026 Other Parties","description":"In her provocative debut, Carmen Maria Machado demolishes the borders between magical realism and science fiction, comedy and horror, fantasy and fabulism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA wife refuses her husband's entreaties to remove the mysterious green ribbon from around her neck.

Witches are both the ultimate victim and the stubborn, elusive rebel. But who were the women who were accused and often killed for witchcraft? What types of women have centuries of terror censored, eliminated, and repressed?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCelebrated feminist writer Mona Chollet explores three types of women who were accused of witchcraft and persecuted: the independent woman, since widows and celibates were particularly targeted; the childless woman, since the time of the hunts marked the end of tolerance for those who claimed to control their fertility; and the elderly woman, who has always been an object of at best, pity, and at worst, horror. Examining modern society, Chollet concludes that these women continue to be harrassed and oppressed. Rather than being a brief moment in history, the persecution of witches is an example of society’s seemingly eternal misogyny, while women today are direct descendants to those who were hunted down and killed for their thoughts and actions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith fiery prose and arguments that range from the scholarly to the cultural, \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eIn Defense of Witches\u003c\/span\u003e seeks to unite the mythic image of the witch with modern women who live their lives on their own terms.","brand":"St. Martin's Griffin","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42827300569168,"sku":"9781250894878B","price":10.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8173\/5760\/files\/9781250894878-l.jpg?v=1785909654"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookoutlet.com\/fr\/collections\/carmen-maria-machado.oembed","provider":"Book Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
