By masterfully combining, with innovative writing techniques, the real and the imagined, and carelessly collapsing the boundaries between psychological realism, science fiction, comedy, horror, fantasy, and magical realism, Carmen María Machado pours out in Her Body and Other Parties her vision of the contradictory world of real women. : The beautiful, the funny, the strange, the dark, and the terrifying, alike. This contradiction is etched in their experiences and daily lives, between push and pull, independence and helplessness, to ultimately reveal the surreal meaning of being a “woman.”
Jasmine's surgeon: Jassem seems torn between his mother's desires, which are determined by her materialistic view of life, and his desires for a love that he creates himself, whenever he stumbles in an attempt at marriage, to the point that he becomes convinced that not marrying is better than a marriage determined by customs and traditions and not crowned with love, until he drowns in Yasmine's overwhelming love.

When he decided to atone for his sin, he died. Wait for me in the last pages.. Enjoy reading
