Carmen Maria Machado’s non-fiction is led by In the Dream House (2019), a genre-bending memoir about domestic abuse in a same-sex relationship. The book uses literary genres as structural frameworks, with chapters styled as fairy tales, horror stories, and choose-your-own-adventure entries.
She also co-wrote March Sisters: On Life, Death, and Little Women (2019), a collection of essays about Louisa May Alcott’s classic novel. Both works demonstrate Machado’s ability to bring literary innovation to non-fiction.
