À propos de cet audio

In the Dream House is Carmen Maria Machado's engrossing and wildly innovative account of a relationship gone bad, and a bold dissection of the mechanisms and cultural representations of psychological abuse. Tracing the full arc of a harrowing relationship with a charismatic but volatile woman, Machado struggles to make sense of how what happened to her shaped the person she was becoming.

And it's that struggle that gives the book its original structure: each chapter is driven by its own narrative trope - the haunted house, erotica, the bildungsroman - through which Machado holds the events up to the light and examines them from different angles. She looks back at her religious adolescence, unpacks the stereotype of lesbian relationships as safe and utopian, and widens the view with essayistic explorations of the history and reality of abuse in queer relationships.

Machado's dire narrative is leavened with her characteristic wit, playfulness, and openness to inquiry. She casts a critical eye over legal proceedings, fairy tales, Star Trek, and Disney villains, as well as iconic works of film and fiction. The result is a wrenching, riveting book that explodes our ideas about what a memoir can do and be.

This was totally different than anything I’ve ever read and I was so excited for that. It was soothing, heartbreaking, melancholy.

Beautiful and heartbreaking

I love this audiobook.
When I first started to listen to it I wondered how it was written in these brief chapters and how it would come together. After awhile I saw the brilliance in that.
It brought some knowledge that should be apparent to me but somehow you think in gay relationship there’s nothing but sheer bliss. I have a gay nephew who lives with his man and hear that they fight a lot. I thought to myself “how cute “ and just figure it must be nothing serious. Why would I assume that.
So this listen opened up my eyes and I realize things can go wrong in any relationship.
I love Carmens voice. She tells the story with such grace and such a melodious voice that I wish to listen to it always.
Definitely a book I would love to read as well just to absorb the full story.

Stunning to listen to

Great way to tell a story, I liked it.
I’m not surprised to hear there is domestic abuse in same sex relationships, but saddened by it nonetheless. And glad there is a book like this to give validation to those needing it. Glad she got out. A good listen.

Liked the writing

Carmen Maria Machado reading her memoir of domestic abuse was spellbinding. Many stories within a story, woven seamlessly with moments of film, history, and research. Heart-thumping narrative, balanced by soothing self reflection.

Beautiful and devastating

This memoir is an intelligent, highly creative, committed, courageous, exposing, tender, and vulnerable act of love from the author toward herself, and toward anyone who reads/recieves this book.
